Polarographic Studies in the Anthraquinone Series

Abstract

Polarographic chemical analysis, although invented only twenty-five years ago, has already become a standard method for the research worker and industrial analyst alike. The variety of topics in pure, bio- and commercial chemistry which may be investigated easily with the polarograph, as well as its application to microchemistry, has found it a place in laboratories throughout the world. The invention of the method, and much of the pioneer development are due to Jaroslav Heyrovsky and his colleagues at Charles University, Prague, (Phill. Mag., 1923, 45, 303; Trans. Faraday Soc., 1923, 19, 692 et seq.)
