Using fast linear sweep voltammetry, the adsorption behaviour of formaldehyde, formic acid and methanol was studied on an electrochemically modified (100~like Pt electrode without or covered with UPD-lead. It was found that both the lead inhibits the formation of strongly bound intermediates and the
Abohct-Three different coordinated forms of CO adsorbed to the platinum surface were observed for methanol, formic acid and reduced carbon dioxide: linear-, bridge-and multi-bonded CO. Using a new experimental approach absolute absorption bands are observed for the adsorption of methanol and reduced
Two reversible wavesare observed for the reduction of Ru(IV) on platinum electrodes. Each wave is the sum of two one-electron steps according to: 1st wllve Ru,(OH):: (IV)-Ru4(0H)$ (3,75)=Ru,(OH):+ (3.5) 2nd wave /wv-l Ru,(OH);+ (3,S)=Ru,(OH);+ (3.25)= Ru+(OH):+ (III) k, 4 stable Ru(II1) Potentials (
