The theme here is electron transfer, in inner- and outer-sphere reactions and, to a lesser degree, in related processes like optically induced charge transfer or excited state decay. Three books have been written on electron transfer, by Reynolds and Luniry, Cannon and Ulstrup, the last of which emphasizes theoretical aspects. In addition, a series of theoretical and experimental articles appear in the book Tunneling in Biological Systems , edited by Chance et and in volume 74 (1982) of the Faraday Discussions of the Chemical Society. A number of reviews have appeared, dealing both with general aspects - and more specialized themes, and many will be referred to in the sections that follow. 

Amperometric detection refers to a detection method in which the current is proportional to the concentration of the species generating the current. It consists of two electrodes, a working electrode and a reference electrode, across which a DC voltage is applied. A redox reaction is induced at the working electrode when analyte solution flows in between two electrodes and the current change is monitored. The current response is directly proportional to the number of moles of analyte oxidized or reduced at the working electrode surface as described by Faraday s law ...
