Abstract
The influence of preadsorbed monolayers of organic compounds on the el ectrooxidation of HCOOH, CH2O, and CH3OH was studied at platinized pla tinum. The adsorption products of benzene, aniline, paraphenylenediami ne, and nitrobenzene accelerated the oxidation of HCOOH and CH2O but i nhibited the oxidation of CH3OH. The effect of the adsorbed substances strongly depended on the substituents (and number of substituents) in the benzene ring of aromatic compounds. Possible reasons for these ef fects were discussed.
