N,N'-Dimethylthiourea catalyzes electroreduction of In(III) ions on a mercury drop electrodes in an aqueous perchlorate solution in the range 0.5 < pH < 2. The catalytic activity in creases with the in crease of concentration of N,N'-dimethylthiourea. Electroreduction of In(III) ions in the presence of N,N'-dimethylthiourea is a multi-step reaction. The transfer of electrons is preceded by the hy drolysis of In(H2O)6 3+ ions and formation of In–N,N'-dimethylthiourea complexes. These complexes are formed on the electrode surface, because of the significant lo cal N,N'-dimethylthiourea concentration resulting from its adsorption on mercury. The active complexes participate in consecutive transfer of electrons.
