Abstract

A highly efficient coulometric cell was designed and constructed, ensuring a constant potential over the whole surface of the working electrode and suitable for very rapid electrolysis. It consists of concentric cylindrical Teflon parts; also the working and auxiliary electrodes are cylindrical and concentric. Electrolysis can be carried out under anaerobic conditions. Functioning of the cell was tested on the oxidation of hexacyanoferrate(II) and chlorpromazine and reduction of hexacyanoferrate(III). The new cell is suitable for routine quantitative analyses and in studying the mechanism and kinetics of moderately rapid chemical reactions.
