Theory of the voltammetric or polarographic ion transfer current of organic amines at the water/organic solvent interface is discussed. Theoretical equations of the current vs. potential curves are derived on the basis of the reaction layer theory. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with experimental results obtained with procaine and 4-ethylaniline at nitrobenzene/water interface using a dropping electrolyte electrode. Ion-transfer voltammetry and polarography is useful for study of the partition of amines between water and an organic solvent phase in both neutral and protonated forms and of the protonation reaction in water phase as well.
