Abstract
Phosphorus tribromide gives a one-electron reduction wave at E1/2 -0.6 V on a mercury drop cathode in acetonitrile in the concentration range 0.05-0.5 mM, applicable for analytical purposes. It is proposed that the cathodic process gives rise to an unstable species particle PBr which is adsorbed on the mercury surface.
