Polarographic behaviour of aldoximes in tetraalkyl halides
Abstract
The polarography of a few aromatic aldoximes has been studied in unbuffered 8% ethanolic medium using tetramethyl ammonium halides and tetraethyl ammonium iodide as supporting electrolytes (vs. S. C. E.). Some syn-forms gave two step waves and the anti-forms only one wave. On the basis of diffusion controlled waves of the two forms, we have concluded that the diffusion current constant “I” of the syn-forms is 3 ± 0.3 and that of the anti-forms 5 ± 0.5. In general if only one form of the oxime is available, one can find out its configuration by calculating the diffusion current constant.
