The oscillations observed with artificial membranes, such as thick liquid membranes, lipid-doped filter, or bilayer lipid membranes indicate that the oscillation can occur even in the absence of the channel protein. The oscillations at artificial membranes are expected to provide fundamental information useful in elucidating the oscillation processes in living membrane systems. Since the oscillations may be attributed to the coupling occurring among interfacial charge transfer, interfacial adsorption, mass transfer, and chemical reactions, the processes are presumed to be simpler than the oscillation in biomembranes. Even in artificial oscillation systems, elementary reactions for the oscillation which have been verified experimentally are very few.

The objective of most electrochemical experiments is to allow the experimenter to investigate one or more of three types of parameters (1) the concentration and identity of one or more solution components, (2) the kinetics of chemical, charge transfer, or adsorption processes, and (3) the nature of the double-layer capacitance associated with the electrode-solution interface. Historically, most small-amplitude techniques have been developed in an attempt to allow an easier separation of the contributions of these basic parameters. 

Surface reactions The rapidly advancing field of electrochemical surface science is reviewed, with discussion of quantum treatments of charge transfer and adsorption phenomena, determination of rate constraints, mechanistic studies of complex reactions, and electro-crystallization. 

Looking back one can easily notice that before mid 1960s the thermodynamics of adsorption phenomena on platinum was considered mostly in terms of temperature dependence. This traditional approach was not specific for electrochemical thermodynamics, but there was no serious basis to involve other parameters. Another remarkable point is discussion exclusively in terms of hydrogen adsorption, imder more or less transparently formulated assumption of complete charge transfer with formation of uncharged adatom. It is shghtly strange future surface thermodynamics was outlined already in 1936, and its principal point was the interplay of ionic and atomic adsorption, but even 30 years later ionic contribution was still accounted only as very formal subtraction (double layer correction). When the idea of this interplay was first presented by Frumkin in more comprehensive form, it met immediately Breiter s support. ... 

Two semicircles appear in the case of hydrogen adsorption or desorption limitations coupled with evolution only (without absorption or diffusion limitations), which are related to two time constants, charge transfer and adsorption R g or desorption impedance... 

Charge-Transfer Compounds. Similat to iodine and chlorine, bromine can form charge-transfer complexes with organic molecules that can serve as Lewis bases. The frequency of the iatense uv charge-transfer adsorption band is dependent on the ionization potential of the donor solvent molecule. Electronic charge can be transferred from a TT-electron system as ia the case of aromatic compounds or from lone-pairs of electrons as ia ethers and amines. 

New stationary phases for specific purposes in chromatographic separation are being continually proposed. Charge transfer adsorption chromatography makes use of a stationary phase which contains immobilised aromatic compounds and permits the separation of aromatic compounds by virtue of the ability to form charge transfer complexes (sometimes coloured) with the stationary phase. The separation is caused by the differences in stability of these complexes (Porath and Dahlgren-Caldwell J Chromatogr 133 180 1977).
