Lopez-Fonseca et al. [11] discussed the theory of reverse pulse polarography and the technique was applied in the determination of penicillamine electrochemically coated on a dropping-mercury electrode. Using long drop times and short pulses, the drug can be determined at levels as low as 50 nM in the presence of Cu(II), and the technique compares well with normal-pulse and differential-pulse polarography.

The 1-methyl-2-, 3-, and 4-methoxycarbonylpyridinium ions have been investigated by pulse polarography and reverse pulse polarography. The 4-isomer was found to give a radical stable both in acetonitrile and methanol,... 

The pyridinyl radical dimer (2-2) is formed by brief reduction (0.5-8.0s) of l-methyl-2-carbomethoxypyridinium ion 2 ) around an Hg drop. A rapid jump (tp = 0.8-90 ms) to a potential suitable for oxidation of any new species present near the electrode 1 1 to an increase during irradiation (Fig. 8) in the amount of monomeric pyridinyl radical (2 ) detected. The detection technique is termed reverse pulse polarography, RPP (see below). Variation of the wavelength of irradiation yielded a variation in the excess current, corrresponding to a photodissociation spectrum similar to the alsorption spectrum of the dimers (Fig. 9).

Because irradiation of the dimer (NADP)2 also leads to the appearance of NADPH ( 10% of the initial dimer concentration), this may lead to involvement in the photoreduction reaction of the NAD- radical (Scheme 2, below. Equation (lA, 1C) or disproportionation of the dimer in the excited state (Equation IB) or both. The formation of radicals during photodissociation of (NAD)2 at pH 9.5 by pulsed N2 laser excitation at 337 nm has been confirmed by Reverse Pulse Polarography . 

Flurazepam and two of its metabolites have demonstrated reversible hydrolysis of the 4,5-azomethine [131]. In acid solution, this reaction may be monitored employing pulse polarography to measure the decrease in concentration of the 4,5-azomethine of the 1,4-benzodiazepine or increase in carbonyl concentration of the open benzophenone (see Fig. 26.10). 

The Dimensionless Parameter is a mathematical method to solve linear differential equations. It has been used in Electrochemistry in the resolution of Fick s second law differential equation. This method is based on the use of functional series in dimensionless variables—which are related both to the form of the differential equation and to its boundary conditions—to transform a partial differential equation into a series of total differential equations in terms of only one independent dimensionless variable. This method was extensively used by Koutecky and later by other authors [1-9], and has proven to be the most powerful to obtain explicit analytical solutions. In this appendix, this method will be applied to the study of a charge transfer reaction at spherical electrodes when the diffusion coefficients of both species are not equal. In this situation, the use of this procedure will lead us to a series of homogeneous total differential equations depending on the variable, v given in Eq. (A.l). In other more complex cases, this method leads to nonhomogeneous total differential equations (for example, the case of a reversible process in Normal Pulse Polarography at the DME or the solutions of several electrochemical processes in double pulse techniques). In these last situations, explicit analytical solutions have also been obtained, although they will not be treated here for the sake of simplicity. 

Often the first step in the electrochemical characterization of a compound is to ascertain its oxidation-reduction reversibility. In our opinion, cyclic voltammetry is the most convenient and reliable technique for this and related qualitative characterizations of a new system, although newer forms of pulse polarography may prove more suitable for quantitative determination of the electrochemical parameters. The discussion in Chapter 3 outlines the specific procedures and relationships. The next step in the characterization usually is the determination of the electron stoichiometry of the oxidation-reduction steps of the compound. Controlled-potential coulometry (discussed in Chapter 3) provides a rigorously quantitative means for such evaluations. 

Potentiodynamictechniques— are all those techniques in which a time-dependent -> potential is applied to an - electrode and the current response is measured. They form the largest and most important group of techniques used for fundamental electrochemical studies (see -> electrochemistry), -> corrosion studies, and in -> electroanalysis, -+ battery research, etc. See also the following special potentiodynamic techniques - AC voltammetry, - DC voltammetry, -> cyclic voltammetry, - linear scan voltammetry, -> polarography, -> pulse voltammetry, - reverse pulse voltammetry, -> differential pulse voltammetry, -> potentiodynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Jaradaic rectification voltammetry, - square-wave voltammetry. 

NPV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and SWV, and polarography methods (use of a mercury drop electrode) like normal (normal and pulse polarography (NPP)) and DPP, although sometimes these polarographic versus voltammetric terms are used interchangeably. These step methods do not typically use return scans and therefore often do not provide information about reversibility of the redox process and can sometimes give data that, unknown to the researcher, are characteristic of decomposition products. 

The reversible binding of CO2 to M L " has been studied using differential pulse polarography [30], cyclic voltammetry [19, 31], pulse radiolysis [14, 24], flash photolysis [24, 28] and conventional spectroscopic methods [19, 32]. The results... 

Section 5.4.4, dealing with applications of reversible sampled-current voltammo-grams, applies very generally to dc polarography at the DME or to normal pulse polarography at the SMDE.
