✦ Synopsis


The anodic oxidation of the cyanide ion at a platinum electrode in aqueous solution was observed by polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy( PM IRRAS). The cyanide ion was adsorbed on the electrode surface in the potential region more negative than 0.4 V (versus Ag/AgCI). In the more positive region ( > 0.4 V), the adsorbed cyanide ion was oxidized to form the cyanate ion. Cyanogen was not detected during the oxidation reactions; this suggests direct electrochemical formation of the cyanate ion.
