Nikolsky Equation for the glass electrode

Derivation is published by Boris Petrovich Nikolskyi (1906-1990): On the theory of glass electrode I. Zhurnal Fizicheskoi Khimii. 1937. V. 10. P. 495-503. Experimental verification (co-authored by T.A. Tolmacheva) includes Part II in Zhurnal Fizicheskoi Khimii. 1937. V. 10. P. 504-512 (effect of B₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ in glass on glass electrode properties), and Part III in Zhurnal Fizicheskoi Khimii. 1937. V. 10. P. 513-523 (transition from H- to Na-function).

“Absolute potential” (Kanevskyi potential)

Starting article of Efim Abramovich Kanevskyi: On the theory of electrode potential. 1. The essence of the electrode potential and a problem of possibility to calculate the absolute potential // Zhurnal Fizicheskoi Khimii. 1948. V. 22. P. 1397-1404. In respect to absolute potential, he also addressed ions hydration: Hydration energy of ions. I. Calculation of the absolute heats of ions hydration on the basis of experimental data // Zhurnal Fizicheskoi Khimii. 1949. V. 23. P. 723-728. All these articles are only available in Russian. There were numerous discussions (also in Russian), which we present at Pleskov’s webpage, as he was the most active participant.
