description Voltammetric techniques have become popular since the 1940s when instrumentation required to conduct such experiments became readily available. Voltammetric techniques considered in this chapter involve monitoring the current when a time-dependent potential is applied to an electrochemical cell. The measured current results from frequently complex combinations of heterogeneous (in which an electron is transferred at the solutionelectrode interface) and homogeneous processes (which occur in the solution phase). The early studies invariably used a linear sweep DC technique. In the last 50 years, a wide range of techniques of interest have emerged. This chapter describes a range of voltammetric techniques based on the use of inherently simple DC waveforms (linear, cyclic or staircase). The description of the techniques begins at a level that presupposes only limited prior knowledge and is suitable for those unfamiliar with the application of voltammetric techniques for the elucidation of electrode reaction mechanisms. The chapter also focuses on typical solution phase reaction mechanisms encountered in organic and organometallic electrochemistry.
