The Structure of the Mercury/Dimethylsulfoxide Interface in the Presence of Tetraalkylammonium Perchlorates

Abstract

Differential capacity against potential data were obtained in dimethyl-sulfoxide solutions containing tetraalkylammonium perchlorates. It is shown that perchlorate anion is weakly adsorbed in the vicinity of the potential of zero charge on the basis of the dependence of the experimental capacity on electrolyte concentration for tetrabutylammonium perchlorate solutions. The influence of cation size on inner layer capacity at more negative potentials, where specific adsorption is absent, is discussed and compared with that found in other aprotic solvents. Molecular structures.
