Abstract

Wet chemical methods were used in combination with in situ infrared spectroscopy to identify and quantify soluble products formed during ethylene glycol electrochemical oxidation on platinum. A small volume electrolysis technique allowed reactions to be performed in samples of 150 μl in contact with a small, bead-type single crystal electrode. Following reaction, 50-100 μl aliquots were assayed for aldehydes and carboxylic acids. Glycolaldehyde (HOCH₂CHO), and glycolic (HOCH₂COOH) and oxalic ((HOOC)₂) acids were detected following the 360 s electrolysis of 0.2 M ethylene glycol in 0.1 M HClO₄ at potentials in the range 0.0-0.6 V (vs. SCE). Determination of the carboxylic acids by ion chromatography aided the assignment of carboxylate vibrational bands in in situ infrared spectra.
