Abstract
Abstract The chronopotentiometric behavior of tetrabutylammonium salts of twenty substituted acetates was studied at platinum anodes in acetonitrile. In every case a diffusion-controlled wave was obtained, suitable for analytical use. Quarter-wave potentials and diffusion coefficients are reported. Waves were obtained on current reversal in most cases, thought to indicate concomitant oxidation of traces of water but not influencing analytical results. Only a single step was observed with monocarboxylates, but dicarboxylates (such as the dinegative malonate ion) gave two-step waves.
