Description The electrode processes of chlorobenzene (CB) and fluorobenzene (FB) on polycrystalline platinum (Pt pc) electrode in sulfuric acid were studied by differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS). Contrary to the oxidation of adsorbed benzene on Pt surface, the oxidation of adsorbed CB and FB in the oxygen adsorption region does not provide solely CO2 as the final product. At negative polarization potentials CB and FB were desorbed under dehalogenation. While in the case of FB only benzene was detected, CB gave intermediates besides benzene. The final product of stepwise hydrogenation of these species was cyclohexane.
