Abstract
Conditions were found for the determination of azobenzene by means of DC, AC, TAST, DP, and FSDP polarography and linear sweep voltammetry on a hanging mercury drop electrode in the medium of aqueous methanol, which ensures a sufficient solubility of azobenzene. In the latter two methods, the detection limit was around 10-8 mol/l; a still lower value could be attained by preliminary accumulation of azobenzene, i.e. adsorption on the electrode surface.
