Linear semi-integral method

An answer to this lies in the transformation of the linear sweep response into a form which is readily analysable, i.e. the form of a steady-state voltammetric wave. Two independent methods of achieving this goal have been described the convolution technique by Saveant and co-workers11,12, and semi-integration by Oldham13. In this section we describe the convolution technique, and demonstrate the equivalence of the two approaches at the end. 

Studies made with this instrumentation on other voltammetrlc techniques such as anodic stripping voltammetry allow one to conclude that the optimization of initial d.c. linear sweep or stripping data leads to optimum performance In the semi-integral, semi-differential and derivative approaches and that, under Instrumental equivalent conditions where d.c. experiments have been optimized with respect to electronic noise and background correction, detection limits are not markedly different within the sub-set of related approaches. Obviously, the resolution and ease of use of a method providing a peak-type readout (semi-differential) are superior to those with sigmoidally shaped read- outs (semi-integral). 

In the foregoing, the expressions needed to account for mass transport of O and R, e.g. eqns. (23), (27), (46), and (61c), were introduced as special solutions of the integral equations (22), giving the general relationship between the surface concentrations cG (0, t), cR (0, t) and the faradaic current in the case where mass transport occurs via semi-infinite linear diffusion. It is worth emphasizing that eqns. (22) hold irrespective of the relaxation method applied. Of course, other types of mass transport (e.g. bounded diffusion, semi-infinite spherical diffusion, and convection) may be involved, leading to expressions different from eqns. (22). 

The 3dxz- and 3dyz-AOs on sulfur are included in the linear combination of atomic orbitals in a semi-empirical SCF MO study of thiophene. The extension of the SCF MO method to include more than one atomic orbital per atomic site is accomplished by a point-charge model for the evaluation of two-center repulsion integrals. A comparison of the SCF molecular orbitals with and without the inclusion of these higher atomic orbitals shows that the d orbitals participate in the 7t-electronic structure of thiophene to only a small extent, but that their participation affects the calculated electronic properties to a great extent <1966JA4804>.
