Microchimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Electrogenerated AuCl4− in 0.02M HCl is used to titrate hydroquinone, ascorbic acid, phenylhydrazine, phenelzine sulphate and phenylsemicarbazide, with biamperometric end-point detection. Titration recoveries are reported and compared with results of coulometry with ceric sulphate oxidation. With less than 1 mg of sample, successive titrations can be performed in the same solution, in contrast to coulometry with ceric sulphate. Phenelzine sulphate reacts stoichiometrically, as opposed to its reactions with stronger oxidizing agents.

Zusammenfassung

An der Elektrode entwickeltes AuCl4− in 0,02M HCl wurde für die Titration von Hydrochinon, Ascorbinsäure, Phenylhydrazin, Phenelzinsulfat und Phenylsemicarbazid mit biamperometrischer Endpunktanzeige verwendet. Die Ergebnisse wurden mitgeteilt und mit den Resultaten der Coulometrie mit Cersulfatoxydation verglichen. Im Gegensatz dazu können mit weniger als 1 mg Probe in derselben Lösung Folgetitrationen durchgeführt werden. Abweichend von seinem Verhalten gegenüber stärkeren Oxydationsmitteln reagiert Phenelzinsulfat stöchiometrisch.
