The oxidation of organic compounds on noble metal electrodes inaqueous solution is acompLex reaction due to the occurrence of several adsorbed intermediates and reaction products or by-products. This leads to a lot of electrocatalytic problems, such as the elucidation of the nature of the reaction p

โฆ Synopsis
p& differences between formic acid and acetic acid and between methanol and methanethiol were calculated as a sum of the acidity difference in the gas phase and the solvation free-energy difference. The ab initio molecular-orbital method with MP3/6-31+ G* and/or MP4/6-3 1 + +G** basis sets and the molecular-dynamics free-energy perturbation technique were applied to the studies of the acidity and the solvation, respectively. The estimated value for formic acid and acetic acid was in good agreement with the experimental value within a few pK, units, but that for methanol and methanethiol was different from the experimental value by 4-6 PK. units.

## Abstract The kinetics of the oxidation of functionalized organic compounds of atmospheric relevance by the hydroxyl radical (OH) was measured in the aqueous phase. Competition kinetics, using the thiocyanate anion (SCN^โ^) as competitor, was applied using both a laser flash photolysis long path
Xenon compounds in aqueous solution at the glassy carbon electrode are irreversibly reduced to xenon(O). The observed reduction potentials us see for xenon compounds are: (I) Perxenate -0.49 to -0.67 V with increasing pH from lO\_ 14; (2) Xenon trioxide -0.54 to -0.48 V with increasing pH from 7-13.
An impedance study has been carried out in aqueous acidic and in neutral organic solutions on polyaniline (PAn) films prepared with the cyclic voltammetry technique. Charge transfer resistances are rather low at intermediate PAn oxidation levels in agreement with the metallic behaviour reported at t
