✦ Synopsis

The reduction of In(II1) in solutions containing 0.05, 0.1 and 0.25 M of NaI and with an ionic strength of 1.00 maintained with sodium perchlorate, has been studied by means of interfacial admittance measurements at different frequencies and de potentials of the dropping mercury electrode.

Our results demonstrate that the process takes place with specific adsorption of electroactive species. The adsorption parameters and their dependence with potential have been determined. From the analysis of our results, together with those obtained in a previous study at higher concentrations of I-, it can be deduced that InI: is the species preferentially adsorbed, this adsorption taking place via a bridge-like mechanism, through I-ions previously adsorbed.
