โฆ Synopsis
The dissociation equilibria of the complex ions present in a solution of Fe(III) and/or Fe(H) oxalate systems depend upon the pH, since H&,0, is a weak acid. Equilibrium diagrams have been drawn from the best information available about stability constants of these systems. Absorption spectra suggest that the octahedral confIguration of the complexes is preserved and the dissociatron is concerned with a process of aquation in the first co-ordination sphere. A study of the polarographic behaviour shows that both electron exchange at the electrode surface and setting of the dissociation equilibria, are very fast. Impedance measurements of platinum and mercury electrodes immersed in solutions of Fe(III)/Fe(H) oxalate systems have been carried out. The results confirm the fast exchange of electrons at the electrode interface and the important role played by adsorption in the mechanism of this electrode reaction.

The electrode reactions of the Fe(II)-NCS system occurring at mercury electrodes have been studied by using cyclic voltammetry and large scale electrolysis. The elatroreduction of Fe(H) in that system occurs with a fast transfer of the first electron. The resulting intermediate complex of iron(I) is
## Ah&act-The objective of this work is to determine the type of mechanism that the Fe(III)-EDTA reduction follows on a flat Pt surface, at a pH which is representative of the most common pH range used for this system (3.5 < pH < 6.5). The techniques used are: LSV, CV, rde, rrde, and CP. The resul
