Thiocyanates electroreduction

The electrodeposition of cadmium sulfide thin films was carried out by the electroreduction of the aqueous thiocyanate complex of Cd(II). Formation of CdS is supposed to proceed by metal-catalyzed ligand reduction [179].

The most vivid example of another group of electrochemical oscillators might be the Hg In(III), SCN" system involving potential-dependent catalysis by thiocyanate of In(III) reduction. This system was investigated rather extensively [108-112]. According to the mechanism proposed in [109], the formation of adsorbed InfSCN) complexes is the rate-determining step followed by fast electroreduction of this species. As in the case of aforementioned systems, the...
