Abstract

It has been established that alternating current polarography may be used for simultaneous analytical determination of two reversibly reduced electroactive species provided there is no overlap of the two ac waves. Where overlap occurs, despite the fact that two distinct peaks may be resolved, the analytical use of the peak heights is not recommended. Where overlap occurs, complete separation of the two waves by selective complexation is a much simpler, more accurate, and reliable analytical approach than trying to compute true peak heights from the summation.
