SQUARE-WAVE VOLTAMMETRY OF 1-BENZYL-TETRAZOLE-5-THIOL

Basic electrochemical characteristics of 1-benzyl-tetrazole-5-thiol in acid medium were investigated applying classical (DC) polarography, c yclic (CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV). During the HMDE life-tim e, a compound was spontaneously formed between the mercury and thiol a nd deposited on the HMDE surface. The surface precipitation process re sults in formation of a multilayer film on the electrode surface. The SW response of the investigated component mainly depends on the struct ure of the film.
