The adsorption of lead (II) from chloride‐bromide mixtures of a high ionic strength (I=4 mol/L) to mercury electrodes was studied using square wave voltammetry, differential, and normal pulse polarography. The presence of excess chloride ions in the solution prevents additional surface complexation of PbBr 2 with previously adsorbed free bromide ions and the formation of PbBr 3 − at the mercury drop. Adsorption effects are highly pronounced, even when PbBr 2 o makes less than 1% of dissolved metal, indicating that a mixed‐ligand species could be attached to the electrode. It is possible to explain nearly all experimental results by the surface activity of both PbBr 2 o and a mixed‐ligand complex PbBr 2 Cl   x˙ x− .
