✦ Synopsis
Probucole is both electroactive and a surface-active compound. It undergoes fast and chemically reversible reduction at a HMD electrode in either 0.1 mol dm À3 KClO 4 or 1 mol dm À3 KNO 3 . Both probucole and its electrode reduction product are strongly adsorbed to the electrode surface and the overall electrode mechanism exhibits characteristic properties of a surface redox reaction. The kinetics of the surface redox reaction of probucole is measured by means of square-wave voltammetry. The kinetic parameters of the redox reaction of probucole were estimated applying the methods of a split SW peak and a quasireversible maximum. In 1 mol dm À3 KNO 3 , the standard rate constant is k s 1400 AE 30 s À1 and the cathodic transfer coef®cient is a 0X55 AE 0X02X
