Abstract
It was found that the inhibition effect of crown ethers on cadmium electrodeposition from water–acetonitrile mixtures is predominantly due to competitive adsorption of their molecules at the electrode. The factors that facilitate the involvement of the same molecules in complexation with metal in solution (e.g., an increase in the ligand concentration, the transsolvation of ions, or the desorbing effect of the components of a solution) decrease the inhibition effect of crown ethers or even cause them to become catalysts of the process.
