Mechanism of the anodic dissolution of gold in solutions of 6-alkyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes

Аннотация

The electrochemical corrosion of gold in solutions of 6,6-dimethyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (I) and 6-methyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (II) on a gold electrode is studied via cyclic voltammetry. It is shown that the galvanostatic electrolysis of weakly basic aqueous solutions of I and II on gold anodes results in the corrosion of Au electrodes, probably with the formation of organic complexes of gold that are reduced to form a gold mirror on the inner surface of an electrochemical cell during electrolysis. A mechanism is proposed for the investigated processes.
