Bridge-assisted electron transfer

Bridge mediation mechanisms in heterogeneous outer sphere electrochemical reactions has also been theoretically treated using the pull—push and push-pull mechanistic concepts [84]. Schmidt [85] has considered theoretically homogeneous inner sphere bridge electron transfer reactions without atom or ion transfer. Bridge mediation in electron transfer reactions may also involve simultaneous atom or ion transfer. Heyrovsky [86] invoked mediation of electron transfer by formation of bridges to explain the enhancement of the rate of electroreduction of indium (III) ions in the presence of specifically adsorbed halide ions on mercury. [Pg.57]

Specifically adsorbed thiocyanate also accelerates the kinetics of Cr(OH2)6+ oxidation on mercury with the incorporation of the anion ligand into the inner coordination sphere of the product. The oxidation of this cation is similarly enhanced by chloride ions [87] and the rate of the electrode reaction is proportional to the surface concentration of chloride ions which, like thyocyanate, are incorporated into the [Pg.57]

In 1969 Schmidt made the first attempt to calculate quantum mechanically the probability of the elementary act of the bridge-assisted electron transfer reaction. However, the transitions were only taken into account for which the energy is conserved in all the states including the intermediate one. In a number of subsequent papers, a more detailed quantum mechanical calculation for the reactions of this kind was performed. Recently the theory was extended to adiabatic bridge-assisted reactions. [Pg.8]
