29. When scanning beyond the second wave, fast coating of the electrode hampered the multisweep cyclic investigations of E5 and E6.
30. Unfortunately the enol oxidation wave in dichloromethane splits up into two oxidation waves after some time. Supposedly a protonated species emerges since the wave disappears in the presence of base. Another severe problem in this MS CV experiment was the coating of the electrode after scanning the second wave.
