Complex electrochemistry

Other Coordination Complexes. Because carbonate and bicarbonate are commonly found under environmental conditions in water, and because carbonate complexes Pu readily in most oxidation states, Pu carbonato complexes have been studied extensively. The reduction potentials vs the standard hydrogen electrode of Pu(VI)/(V) shifts from 0.916 to 0.33 V and the Pu(IV)/(III) potential shifts from 1.48 to -0.50 V in 1 Tf carbonate. These shifts indicate strong carbonate complexation. Electrochemistry, reaction kinetics, and spectroscopy of plutonium carbonates in solution have been reviewed (113). The solubiUty of Pu(IV) in aqueous carbonate solutions has been measured, and the stabiUty constants of hydroxycarbonato complexes have been calculated (Fig. 6b) (90). 

In order to increase our knowledge of the complex electrochemistry in non-aqueous media, we shall consider the phenomena that occur during titrations in solvents with very low e in this connection, it is useful to treat these titrations separately for protogenic and the aprotic solvents, with the latter being subdivided into protophilic and inert solvents. 

Cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrate, formally similar to Prussian blue, exhibits a far more complex electrochemistry. Only recently, Lezna etal. [65] succeeded in elucidating this system by a combination of in situ infrared spectroscopy and electrochemistry, and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Figure 8 shows the pathways of the three different phases involved in the electrochemistry, and their interconversion by electrochemical redox reactions and photochemical reactions. 

The reaction of mercury with Fe(R2Dtc)3 complexes in the presence of 02 has been reported to form Hg(R2Dtc)2. This may explain the complex electrochemistry on mercury electrodes found for Fe(R2Dtc)3, as well as for other complexes (115). The order for ease of reduction relative to substituents...

In this way, alkoxides, glycolates, catecholates, carboxylates, or Schiff base complexes have been obtained.37,38 Other metal chelates have been synthesized by electro-oxidation of the bare metal electrode phosphido, azolates, phthalocyanines, semicarbazides, Schiff bases, etc.37 In addition to the syntheses of monometallic complexes, electrochemistry has been proven to yield polynuclear complexes by using assembling or multidentate ligands.37... 

For each gold nanoparticle, it was coordinated to nine pyridine ligands from the P4VP block, and each particle was essentially labeled with an Os(bpy)2(pyridine) complex. Electrochemistry results suggested that the osmium complex enhanced the conductivity of the polymer/nano-particle composite film. 

To decipher this complexity, electrochemistry at the polarized liquid-liquid interface developed over the past two decades has been proven to be a powerful tool, as shown in elucidation of the mechanism of ion-pair extraction [1 ] and the response of ion-selective electrodes of liquid-membrane type to different types of ions [5 7]. Along this line, several attempts have been made to use polarized liquid liquid interfaces for studying two-phase Sn2 reactions [8-10], two-phase azo-coupling [11], and interfacial polymerizations [12]. Recently, kinetic aspects of complexation reactions in facilitated ion transfer with iono-phores and the rate of protonation of amines have been treated quantitatively [13-16]. Their theoretical framework, which was adapted from the theories of kinetic currents in polaro-graphy, can be directly applicable to analyze quantitatively the chemical reactions in the two-phase systems. In what follows is the introduction to recent advances in electrochemical studies of the chemical reactions at polarized liquid liquid interfaces, mainly focusing on...
