✦ Synopsis

Abtract-With the use of a complex method combining the radiotracer technique of "electrode immersion" and the pulse potentiodynamic method we have revealed and investigated a new property of chemisorbed species of the stoichiometric compositiop COH. This property consists in these species being adsorbed on platinum surface in two forms differing only in their electrooxidation potentials. The ratio of these two forms on the surface is determined solely by the total amount of chemisorbed product. This new property of the COH species does not depend on the nature of the one carbon organic substance, from whose solution these species were adsorbed (with the exception CO).

The stoichiometric composition of CO adsorption products has been determined and their properties have been examined in detail. On the basis of these data, the distinguishing features of CO adsorption products as opposed to the adsorption products of CHsOH. H&O, HCOOH, CO, have been formulated.
