Electrochemistry investigation, cyclic

One of the main uses of these wet cells is to investigate surface electrochemistry [94, 95]. In these experiments, a single-crystal surface is prepared by UFIV teclmiqiies and then transferred into an electrochemical cell. An electrochemical reaction is then run and characterized using cyclic voltaimnetry, with the sample itself being one of the electrodes. In order to be sure that the electrochemical measurements all involved the same crystal face, for some experiments a single-crystal cube was actually oriented and polished on all six sides Following surface modification by electrochemistry, the sample is returned to UFIV for... 

These arguments were apparently in contradiction with electrochemical results reported by Cruanes et al. (158), according to which the reduction of cytochrome c is accompanied by a volume collapse of 24 cm3 mol-1. This value is so large that it almost represents all of the reaction volume found for the investigated reactions discussed above. A reinvestigation of the electrochemistry of cytochrome c as a function of pressure, using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetric techniques (155), revealed a reaction volume of -14.0 0.5 cm3 mol-1 for the reaction... 

Whereas Cgg and C g are easy to reduce, their oxidation occius at comparatively high anodic potentials [1, 2]. Theoretical investigations predict the first oxidation potential ofCgg to be comparable to that of naphthalene [3]. Anodic electrochemistry with fuUerenes has been carried out with Cgg films [4] as well as in solution [5-7]. Cyclic voltammetry of Cgg in a 0.1 M solution of Bu4NPFg in trichloroethylene (TCE) at room temperatare exhibits a chemically reversible, one-electron oxidation wave at -tl.26 V vs Fc/Fc (Figiue 8.1) [7]. Under identical conditions, a one-electron, chemically reversible oxidation is also observed for Cyg. The oxidation of Cyg occurs 60 mV more negative than that of Cgg at -tl.20 V vs Fc/Fc. The energy difference between the first oxidation and the first reduction potential is a measiue of the... 

For the rapid electron transfer process, which follows a reversible chemical step (CE), a procedure is presented for the determination of chemical and electrochemical kinetic parameters. It is based on convolution electrochemistry and was applied for cyclic voltammetry with digital simulation [59] and chronoamperometric curves [60]. The analysis was applied to both simulated and experimental data. As an experimental example, the electroreduction of Cd(II) on HMDE electrode in dimethylsulphoxide (DM SO) [59] and DMF [60] with 0.5 M tetraethylammonium perchlorate (TEAP) was investigated. 

Cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential electrolysis are the techniques that have been used to investigate the electrochemistry of oxo-chromium and oxo-molybdenum corrolates. The data have been related to those obtained for similar porphyrin complexes. Redox potentials are reported in Table 17. 

A number of ferrocene cryptand molecules (66-74) ((29)—(31)) have been reported in the literature and it is only relatively recently that their electrochemical coordination properties have been disclosed. We have synthesized potassium-selective metallocene cryptands (72) (30) and (31) the electrochemistry of the former in the presence of K+ guest cations proved disappointingly irreversible (75). Hall and co-workers (76) have used cyclic voltammetry to investigate the coordination of... 

Our short overview illustrates some prospects for investigation of metallop-rotein dynamics at metal-solution interfaces. Cyclic voltammetry of small single metalloproteins is straightaway feasible. Reversible electrochemistry can be achieved but molecular detail such as adsorption patterns and precise promoter function remain elusive. 

In this experiment, the electrochemistry of both [Co(en)3]3+/2+ and [Co(ox)3]3+/2+ will be investigated using cyclic voltammetry, and the standard reduction potential (E°, V) for the [Co(en)3]3+/2+ couple will be measured. For metal complex stability reasons discussed below, it is not possible to use this technique to obtain reduction potentials for the mixed ligand cobalt systems an exercise at the end of this experiment helps to estimate these. The E° values obtained will be important for experiment 5.6, in which outer-sphere electron transfer rate constants between [Co(en)3)]2+ and [Co(en)2)(ox)]+ will be mathematically modeled using Marcus theory. 

Several investigations of the redox properties of various free base hydroporphyrins and their metal derivatives have been reported. As is typical of many porphyrins and metalloporphyrins, these hydroporphyrins generally show two oxidations and one or more reductions. The reversibility of these redox reactions depends on the nature of the hydroporphyrin and its stereochemistry. For example, the cyclic voltammograms of ris-H2(OEC) and frans-H2(OEC) were superficially alike, although substantial differences existed in the stability of the cation radicals and dications of the cis and trans isomers [85]. The first oxidation of rrans-H2(OEC) was reversible whereas ds-H2(OEC) was not reversible. However, the notable features observed in the redox chemistry of hydroporphyrins is the shift of both oxidation and reduction potentials of hydroporphyrins towards more negative values compared to porphyrins, i.e., they are more easier to oxidise and difficult to reduce [78]. A significant trend was observed in the electrochemistry of free base octaethyl- [86, 87] and tetraphenyl [88,89] hydroporphyrins (Table 2). The porphyrin and chlorin of each series...
