Square Wave Anodic Stripping Voltammetry at the Mercury Film Electrode: Theoretical Treatment 386

Oxidation of Dopamine and 4-Methylcatechol at Carbon Fiber Disk Electrodes 405

Numerical calculations show that the differential current voltammograms are symmetrical, and the peak potential shifts to more negative potentials with decreasing film thick­ ness parameter. S. P. Kounaves, J. J. O'Dea, P. Chandresekhar, and Janet Osteryoung*, Department of Chemistry, State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, N.Y. 14214 Anal. Chem., 59 (1987)

The current-time and current-potential responses of dopa­ mine and 4-methylcatechol are shown to be different. The adsorption of dopamine and dopamine-o-quinone to the microelectrode is demonstrated.

Iridium-Based Small Mercury Electrodes

Determination of Amino Acids at Subfemtomole Levels by HighPerformance Liquid Chromatography with Laser-Induced Fluorescence Detection 411

389

Small iridium disks provide an insoluble, wettable substrate for hemispherical mercury electrodes. Some cyclic linear scan and stripping experiments are described to present the behavior of this type of electrode.

Chem., 59 (1987) Direct Determination of Arsenite by Differential Pulse Polarography in the Presence of Lead(Il) and Thallium(l)

Detection limits for amino acids derivatized with 2,3-naphthalenedialdehyde are in the subfemtomole range. The results are ~ 3 orders of magnitude better than earlier reported results using the o-phthalaldehyde reagent. Mark C. Roach and Marlin D.

Arsenite is determined in the presence of up to 250 ppm Pb(II) and T1(I). The standard deviation is 4 ppb based on eight pairs of data. Margaret A. Reed and Richard J.

Chem., 59 (1987) High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Supersonic Jet/Laser Fluorometric Detection 419 Anthracene derivatives are separated by HPLC and intro­ duced into a continuous-flow supersonic jet nozzle. The de­ tection limit for anthracene is 40 ng, which is similar to reported detection limits for naphthalene derivatives using GC with supersonic jet-fluorometric detection.
