Abstract

Organic electrochemistry is concerned with the reduction and oxidation of organic molecules at
electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry is the most widely used technique for acquiring qualitative information
about electrochemical reactions. It offers a rapid location of redox potentials of the electroactive species,
and convenient evaluation of the media upon the redox process. This research work is focusing on cyclic
voltammetric studies on eloectrochemical oxidation of Salicylaldehyde. These cyclic voltammetric
studies include recording of cyclic voltammograms for anodic oxidation of Salicylaldehyde at different
pH media, at different working electrodes, at different scan rates and with multiple scan with an
intention to predict whether this proposed anodic process will occur not. The cyclic voltammetric
studies provide facts like the working potentials, favorable pH medium for oxidation and also the
electrochemical process is reversible or irreversible.
