Coulometrically generated copper(II) in acetonitrile as an analytical oxidant.
Copper(II) was generated at 100% current efficiency from solutions of copper(I) perchlorate in acetonitrile. Micromole quantities of ferrocene and several alkyl-substituted ferrocenes were determined with high precision and accuracy. Hydroquinone and several thiols, on the other hand, could not be determined because of the lack of an acceptor for the protons produced upon oxidation.
