K. Maeda et al., A VOLTAMMETRIC STUDY OF KEGGIN-TYPE HETEROPOLYMOLYBDATE ANIONS, Journal of electroanalytical chemistry [1992], 364(1-2), 1994, pp. 149-154
The voltammetric behavior of several Keggin-type heteropolymolybdate a
nions, [XMo12O40]n- (X = S, P, As, V, Si, Ge; n = 2-4) at a glassy car
bon (GC) electrode was investigated in acetone or acetonitrile. The on
e-electron reduction waves for the Keggin anions were converted into t
wo-electron waves as a function of acid concentration. The effect of p
rotons on the successive reduction steps was verified experimentally,
and the reduction mechanism of the conversion process was elucidated.
