β¦ Synopsis
The electrochemical reduction of Pt(IV) and Ru(III), in separated and mixed solutions, has been studied on a platinum electrode in 1 NHCI solution. The chronoamperometric and chronocoulometric results showed that the simultaneous reduction of Ru(II1) and Pt(IV) occurs, leading to alloy formation. The voltammogram of the obtained alloy is in agreement with such a conclusion.
