Abstract
A systematic investigation on the adsorption and association of inosine at a hanging mercury drop electrode by phase-sensitive ac voltammetry has been performed. The adsorption equilibrium bas been determined as a function of various parameters such aspH, adsorption potential, adsorption time, and bulk concentration of inosine. It was found that the association of the adsorbed species depends predominantly on the stacking interactions of neutral inosine molecules. Over a wide potential range, inosine exhibits a dilute adsorption characteristic where it is adsorbed with the base flat on the electrode surface. Above a certain threshold value, inosine appears to undergo a surface reorientation and adopts a perpendicular position. The nucleation and growth mechanism is analyzed applying theAvrami equation. Characteristic properties and adsorption parameters of dilute and compact layers of inosine were evaluated from the two-stepFrumkin isotherm and from the potential dependence of adsorption.
