A new polarog. prewave of Co(II) with tryptophan (Trp) in borate buffer (pH = 9) is reported. The adsorption characteristics of tryptophan and its complex Co(II)-Trp, which was formed at the surface of static mercury drop electrode were investigated. The complex has a composition of 1:1 and corresponds to a prewave, while another complex of composition 1:2 may be formed at a more neg. potential than the reduction potential of the hydrated Co(II) ion. By the method of double-step chronocoulometry, the area of the adsorbed 1:1 complex was found to be 0.97 nm2.
