Ion reduction

Bromide ndIodide. The spectrophotometric determination of trace bromide concentration is based on the bromide catalysis of iodine oxidation to iodate by permanganate in acidic solution. Iodide can also be measured spectrophotometricaHy by selective oxidation to iodine by potassium peroxymonosulfate (KHSO ). The iodine reacts with colorless leucocrystal violet to produce the highly colored leucocrystal violet dye. Greater than 200 mg/L of chloride interferes with the color development. Trace concentrations of iodide are determined by its abiUty to cataly2e ceric ion reduction by arsenous acid. The reduction reaction is stopped at a specific time by the addition of ferrous ammonium sulfate. The ferrous ion is oxidi2ed to ferric ion, which then reacts with thiocyanate to produce a deep red complex. 

Mercury Cells. The cathode material ia mercury cells, mercury [7439-97-6] Hg, has a high hydrogen overvoltage. Hydrogen evolution is suppressed and sodium ion reduction produces sodium amalgam [11110-32-4J, HgNa. 

Research and development efforts have been directed toward improved ceU designs, theoretical electrochemical studies of magnesium ceUs, and improved cathode conditions. A stacked-type bipolar electrode ceU has been operated on a lab scale (112). Electrochemical studies of the mechanism of magnesium ion reduction have determined that it is a two-electron reversible process that is mass-transfer controUed (113). A review of magnesium production is found ia Reference 114. 

Borohydrides reduce a-substituted ketones to the corresponding a-substituted alcohols, and such products can be further reduced to olefins (see section VIII). Other reagents serve, through participation of the carbonyl group, to remove the substituent while leaving the ketone intact. The zinc or chromous ion reduction of a-halo ketones is an example of this second type, which is not normally useful for double bond introduction. However, when the derivative being reduced is an a,jS-epoxy ketone, the primary product is a -hydroxy ketone which readily dehydrates to the a,jS-unsaturated ketone. Since... 

Zembura has made specific use of the rotating disc for investigation of the effect of flow on corrosion reactions. This work has shown that it is possible to determine the type of control (activation or concentration polarisation) of zinc dissolving in 0.1 N Na2S04 (de-aerated), which followed closely the predicted increase in hydrogen ion reduction as the flow rate increased, and proved that in this example... 

Fig. 12.4 Corrosion diagram for a zinc diecasting in a nickel plating bath, pH 2-2. There are two possible cathodic reactions, hydrogen evolution (H) and nickel ion reduction (AO. The corrosion current is the sum of the partial cathode currents. Even with live entry the potential is still too high to suppress corrosion, though the rate is reduced to...

However, direct determination of both and k i by means of sampling followed by freezing to 77 °K and measurement of esr absorption intensities (for monomer) gave results inconsistent with step (106). Disproportionation of Mo(V)2 into Mo(rV) and Mo(VI) is also possible but no supporting evidence could be adduced. The titanous ion reduction of iodine displays the kinetics - ...

Here, RH denotes the reducing agent, which yields the adsorbed radical species R and atomic H upon adsorption and dissociation the electron derived from the oxidation step (eqn. (18)) goes towards metal ion reduction. 

Regarding the mechanism of electroless Ni-Ge-P deposition, it appears that key steps are the adsorption of the soft H2PO2 and [Ge(0H)4 0 ] " ions. Reduction of [Ge(OH)4 On " may involve a Ge(II) intermediate that remains mostly adsorbed on the Ni-Ge-P surface until it undergoes further reduction. The decrease in P content with increase in Ge content may be due to the competitive adsorption of [Ge(OH)4 and its reduction intermediate(s), and possibly faster kinetics of Ge... 

Although electroless deposition seems to offer greater prospects for deposit thickness and composition uniformity than electrodeposition, the achievement of such uniformity is a challenge. An understanding of catalysis and deposition mechanisms, as in Section 3, is inadequate to describe the operation of a practical electroless solution. Solution factors, such as the presence of stabilizers, dissolved O2 gas, and partially-diffusion-controlled, metal ion reduction reactions, often can strongly influence deposit uniformity. In the field of microelectronics, backend-of-line (BEOL) linewidths are approaching 0.1 pm, which is much less than the diffusion layer thickness for a...

There is compelling evidence that reducing agent oxidation and metal ion reduction are, more often than not, interdependent reactions. Nonetheless, virtually all established mechanisms of the electroless deposition fail to take into account this reaction interdependence. An alternative explanation is that the potentials applied in the partial solution cell studies are different to those measured in the full electroless solution studies. Notwithstanding some differences in the actual potentials at the inner Helmholtz plane in the full solution relative to the partial solutions, it is hard to see how this could be a universal reason for the difference in rates of deposition measured in both types of solution.

Metal ion reduction can also occur during surface studies. One of the best documented examples is that of the reduction of copper(II) to copper(I), a process that has been reviewed extensively in the research literature (11). Certain copper(II) minerals, such as CuO (tenorite), are quite susceptible to photoreduction (11), and care must be taken in conducting surface studies on them. 

In one of these studies, Kurz and Frieden (1980) observed the first unexpectedly large secondary a-deuterium KIE. They found that the secondary a-deuterium KIE for the nonenzymatic hydride ion reduction of 4-cyano-2,6-dinitrobenzenesulfonate by NADH (reaction (44)) was 1.156 0.018 and 1.1454 0.0093 using direct and competitive kinetic methods, respectively. The corresponding equilibrium isotope effects (EIEs) were found to be 1.013 0.020 and 1.0347 0.0087, respectively. Thus, the secondary deuterium KIE was much larger than the EIE. The magnitude of a secondary a-deuterium KIE is normally attributed to the rehybridization of the a-carbon that takes place when the reactant is transformed into the...
