Abstract
The electrochemical behavior of kryptand 222 at the interface between a mercury electrode and an aqueous solution is studied by the impedance spectroscopy, polarography, and cyclic voltammetry methods. It is established that kryptand 222 possesses high surface activity at this interface. Adsorption parameters of kryptand 222 are found on the basis of the model of two parallel capacitors supplemented by the Frumkin isotherm by the regression analysis method. The potential dependences of the differential capacitance (C,E curves), calculated using these parameters satisfactorily agree with experiment. It is shown that the maximum in the C,E curves in the region of negative potentials is caused by catalytic process of hydrogen evolution.
