description

Summary The half-wave potentials of a number of quaternary phosphonium and arsonium salts are determined under standard conditions, and their dependence on the concentration of the substrate, the temperature, the drop rate, the height of the mercury head, and the concentration of the capillary-active substance (Triton X-100) is established. It is not possible to deduce from the half-wave potentials which ligands, and in what proportion these ligands, are reductively cleaved. The results suggest that ligands are split off as radicals (transfer, of one electron) and as anions (transfer of two electrons).
