[en] This review of the inorganic and coordination chemistry of zinc and cadmium covers material which appeared in volumes 102 and 103 of Chemical Abstracts. Zinc and cadmium are treated together and, as was the case last year, much of the reported chemistry is routine and has not been reported in detail. Rigorous classification of ligands continues to be a difficulty for compounds containing several different potential donor atoms and the reader may need to refer to more than one section. Although the scopeof this review does not encompass bio-inorganic in general, some more interesting aspects of application of ¹¹³Cd probes for biological systems have veen included this year.

[en] Considered is a model, according to which a stage of discharging particle penetration into the surface layer, composed of water associates and adsorbate molecules, is preceded by the stage of electron transfer. It is shown that if the stage of discharging particle penetration into the surface layer is reversible, transfer coefficient α, determined from the slope of polarization curves at the constant values of degree of fullness THETA of electrode surface with adsorbate molecules, does not depend on the value of THETA. If the rate constant of electrode reaction is commensurable with the rate constant, characterizing penetration stage, it results in the decrease of α effective value. It is shown that experimental data, previously obtained at the study of surfactant effect upon Cd(2) and Cu(2) electroreduction kinetics, are described in the framework of the model
