N. A. Tananaev, simultaneously with F. Feigl, developed the spot analysis. Known Tserevitinov method for determining labile hydrogen atoms in organic compounds (1902-1907 should be noted (the method was later improved by A.P Terent ev). In the USSR, there were powerful schools in liquid-liquid extraction and inverse voltammetry. 

Besides trace metals, adsorptive stripping voltammetry has been shown to be highly suitable for measuring organic compounds (including cardiac or anticancer drugs, nucleic acids, vitamins, and pesticides) that exhibit surface-active properties.

Principles and Characteristics Contrary to poten-tiometric methods that operate under null conditions, other electrochemical methods impose an external energy source on the sample to induce chemical reactions that would not otherwise occur spontaneously. It is thus possible to analyse ions and organic compounds that can either be reduced or oxidised electrochemi-cally. Polarography, which is a division of voltammetry, involves partial electrolysis of the analyte at the working electrode. 

Stan Van Den Berg is a Professor of Chemical Oceanography at the University of Liverpool. His research interests focus on the chemical specia-tion of trace elements and organic compounds in natural waters and the redox chemistry of metals and sulfides. His research group has pioneered advances in analytical techniques using electroanalytical methods (cathodic stripping voltammetry and chronopotentiometry). Dr. Van Den Berg is a broad-based analytical chemist. 

It is certain that, in the first reduction step in aprotic solvents, an electron is accepted by the LUMO of the organic compound. However, it was fortunate that this conclusion was deduced from studies that either ignored the influence of solvation energies or used the results in different solvents. Recently, Shalev and Evans [55] estimated the values of AG V(Q/Q ) for 22 substituted nitrobenzenes and nine quinones from the half-wave potentials measured by cyclic voltammetry. For quinones and some substituted nitrobenzenes, the values of AG V(Q/Q ) in a given solvent were almost independent of the EA values. Similar results had been observed for other aromatic hydrocarbons in AN (Section 8.3.2) [56]. If AG V(Q/ Q ) does not vary with EA, there should be a linear relation of unit slope between El/2 and EA. Shalev and Evans [55], moreover, obtained a near-linear relation between AG V(Q/Q ) and EA for some other substituted nitrobenzenes. Here again, the Ey2-EA relation should be linear, although the slope deviates from unity.8)...
