Abstract
The electrochemical behavior of iodine extracted with an organic solvent at the liquid/liquid interface was studied using a new composite electrode. The effects of various solvents and supporting electrolyte on the electrochemical reaction of iodine were analyzed by cyclic voltammetric curves. The formation of a polar solvent complex of iodine and a strong donor solvent in organic solution was comfirmed by UV-VIS spectra. A possible mechanism was suggested based on experiments. This method makes it possible to measure heavy metal ion in solution indirectly.
