Ion transfer coupled

The difference in magnitudes of the currents for ion transfers coupled with the electron transfer from DMFC in NB to FMN in W is responsible for that Na" " transfers from NB to W spontaneously in the system of Eq. (5), though K" " does not.

Within the potential range where Ru(bpy)3 remains in the aqueous phase, photocurrent responses are clearly observed with a slow rising time of the order of 10 s as shown in Fig. 14(a). According to the convention employed by these authors, positive currents correspond to the transfer of a negative charge from water to DCE. No photoresponses were observed in the absence of either the dye in the aqueous phase or TCNQ in DCE. Further analysis of the interfacial behavior of the product TCNQ revealed that the ion transfer occurred outside of the polarizable window [cf. Fig. 14(d)], confirming that these photoresponses are not affected by coupled ion-transfer processes. An earlier report also showed photoeffects for the photoreduction of the viologen under similar conditions [131]. 

A hanging electrolyte drop has also been applied to determine ionic species in solution using differential-pulse-stripping voltammetry procedures [69]. Particular emphasis was given to assessing the selectivity and sensitivity of the method. The technique of current-scan polarography has also been applied in the study of electron-transfer [70] and coupled electron-transfer-ion-transfer [71,72] reactions at the ITIES in this configuration. 

MEMED has also been used to investigate the nature of coupled ion-transfer processes involved in spontaneous electron transfer at ITIES [80]. In this application, a key strength of MEMED is that all of the reactants and products involved in the reaction can be measured, as shown in Figs. 19 and 20. The redox reaction studied involved the oxidation of either ferrocene (Fc) or decamethylferrocene (DMFc) in a DCE phase (denoted by Fcdce) by either IrCle or Fe(CN)g in the aqueous phase (denoted by Ox ) ... 

In particular, the coupling between the ion transfer and ion adsorption process has serious consequences for the evaluation of the differential capacity or the kinetic parameters from the impedance data [55]. This is the case, e.g., of the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions each containing a transferable ion, which adsorbs specifically on both sides of the interface. In general, the separation of the real and the imaginary terms in the complex impedance of such an ITIES is not straightforward, and the interpretation of the impedance in terms of the Randles-type equivalent circuit is not appropriate [54]. More transparent expressions are obtained when the effect of either the potential difference or the ion concentration on the specific ion adsorption is negli-... 

In this chapter, a novel interpretation of the membrane transport process elucidated based on a voltammetric concept and method is presented, and the important role of charge transfer reactions at aqueous-membrane interfaces in the membrane transport is emphasized [10,17,18]. Then, three respiration mimetic charge (ion or electron) transfer reactions observed by the present authors at the interface between an aqueous solution and an organic solution in the absence of any enzymes or proteins are introduced, and selective ion transfer reactions coupled with the electron transfer reactions are discussed [19-23]. The reaction processes of the charge transfer reactions and the energetic relations...

E. Voltammetric Evaluation of Coupling of Ion Transfer with Electron Transfer at the W/NB Interface... 

In this section, redox reactions between NADH in an aqueous solution (W) and Q in an organic solution (O) at the W/O interface are investigated as a function of potential differences between W and O, w/o- The ion transfer at the W/O interface coupled with the redox reaction is also discussed. 

The redox reaction between O2 in W and CQEI2 in DCE controlled by (or coupled with) an ion transfer reaction at the interface was investigated by shaking W with DCE for 4h. 

In order to clarify the reason for the coupling of the redox reaction between O2 and CQH2 with the ion transfer at the W/DCE interface in system of Eq. (25), current-scan polarograms for ion transfers at the W/DCE interface (cf. curves 3 to 5 in Fig. 5) were compared with that for the interfacial redox reaction (cf. curve 1 in Fig. 8). From the comparison, it is clear that transfers of TPenA" " and TBA+ from W to DCE proceed at potentials in Range A where the polarographic wave due to the redox reaction... 

Haemoglobin is an essential component of the blood. The central, active part of the molecule comprises a haem ring (as above) at the centre of which lies an iron ion. We call it a charge transfer couple, since it requires two constituents, both the iron and the haem. 

The MC-ICP-MS consists of four main parts 1) a sample introduction system that inlets the sample into the instrument as either a liquid (most common), gas, or solid (e.g., laser ablation), 2) an inductively coupled Ar plasma in which the sample is evaporated, vaporized, atomized, and ionized, 3) an ion transfer mechanism (the mass spectrometer interface) that separates the atmospheric pressure of the plasma from the vacuum of the analyzer, and 4) a mass analyzer that deals with the ion kinetic energy spread and produces a mass spectrum with flat topped peaks suitable for isotope ratio measurements. 

The thermodynamics of insertion electrodes is discussed in detail in Chapter 7. In the present chapter attention is focused mainly on the general kinetic aspects of electrode reactions and on the techniques by which the transport of species within electrodes may be determined. The electrodes are treated in a general fashion as exhibiting mixed ionic and electronic transport, and attention is concentrated on the description of the coupled transport of these species. In this context it is useful to consider that an electronically conducting lead provides the electrons at the electrodes and compensates the charges of the ions transferred by the electrolyte.
