A wide range of olefins can be determined by a.c. polarography of their addition compounds with mercuric acetate. The first step in the reduction of these compounds is a reversible, one-electron process to form the organo-mercury radical and gives a well defined a.c. peak. The optimum conditions for the determination of a representative selection of olefins has been established.
