Abstract
Pulse and differential pulse polarograms of redox reactions complicated by reactant adsorption with and without lateral attractions in the monolayer are analysed theoretically by using a stationary spherical diffusion model. The continuous shift of the post-peak potential to lower values and the decrease in its half-peak width with increasing bulk concentration of reactant indicate attractions between adsorbed ions or molecules.
