ELECTROCHEMICAL-BEHAVIOR OF HETEROPOLY PHOSPHOMOLYBDOVANADATE ANIONS AT THE LIQUID LIQUID INTERFACE

Electrochemical transfer behavier of the V~vMo_(11)-V_5~vMo_7 heteropolyanions at the water/nitrobenzene interface has been investigated by using cyclic voltammetry. The effect of the solution acidity on the transfer behavior and the stable pH range of heteropolyanions were observed. Mixed melybdovanadate anions are more stable than 12-molybdophosphoric acid, however, the stability of the former decreases with increasing number of vanadium atoms. The main transfer species within the "potential window" has t...
