Cyano metal complexes undergo a variety of oxidation-reduction reactions. One of the most studied is the fast self-exchange reaction of the [Fe(CN)4] /" anions information from this research was instrumental in establishing the outer-sphere mechanism (see Outer-sphere Reaction) for transition metal oxidation-reduction reactions (see Electrochemistry Applications in Inorganic Chemistry). The nature... 

As discussed above, reduction of metal-metal bonded complexes is common, particularly for carbon monoxide-substituted complexes. The electrochemical potential of these reactions has been widely studied (see Electrochemistry Applications in Inorganic Chemistry). In addition, Meyer has shown that the metal-metal bond strength can be estimated via electrochemical techniques. The results applied to Mn2(CO)io are in agreement with values obtained by other methods and could provide a means of generating a wide range of metal-metal bond strengths. The legs of the electrochemical cycle are shown in equation (99).

In all of these systems, certain aspects of the reactions can be uniquely related to the properties of a surface. Surface properties may include those representative of the bulk material, ones unique to the interface because of the abrupt change in density of the material, or properties arising from the two-dimensional nature of the surface. In this article, the structural, thermodynamic, electrical, optical, and dynamic properties of solid surfaces are discussed in instances where properties are different from those of the bulk material. Predominantly, this discussion focuses on metal surfaces and their interaction with gas-phase atoms and molecules. The majority of fundamental knowledge of molecular-level surface properties has been derived from such low surface area systems. The solid-gas interface of high surface area materials has received much attention in the context of separation science, however, will not be discussed in detail here. The solid-liquid interface has primarily been treated from an electrochemical perspective and is discussed elsewhere see Electrochemistry Applications in Inorganic Chemistry). The surface properties of liquids (liquid-gas interface) are largely unexplored on the molecular level experimental techniques for their study have begun only recently to be developed. The information presented here is a summary of concepts a more complete description can be found in one of several texts which discuss surface properties in more detail. ...

The long-familiar Daniell cell used a zinc electrode zinc sheeting is still much used in battery manufacture. Useful background material for this aspect of zinc chemistry is to be found in the article Electrochemistry Applications in Inorganic Chemistry, further details elsewhere.The original Leclanche battery (1866), based on the cell... 

The interaction of dioxygen with metals is important to these systems as well as to the development of O2 sensors plus fuel cells, batteries, and electrocatalysts see Electrochemistry Applications in Inorganic Chemistr Therefore, it is not surprising that studies of the interaction and activation of dioxygen at metal sites have occupied and fascinated researchers for quite some time.
