The reduction electrochemistry of ECP porphyrin films furthermore responds to added axial ligands in the expected ways. We have tested this (2,6) for the ECP form of the iron complex of tetra(o-amino)phenyl)porphyrin by adding chloride and various nitrogeneous bases to the contacting solutions, observing the Fe(III/II) wave shift to expected potentials based on the monomer behavior in solution. This is additional evidence that the essential porphyrin structure is preserved during the oxidation of the monomer and its incorporation into a polymeric film. 

From the electrochemical point of view, an important class of materials is that constituted by aluminosilicates incorporating cobalt, iron, etc., centers. In the case of Fe-based zeolites with Mobil Five structure (FeZSM-5) materials, different forms of iron can coexist. These include isolated ions either in framework positions (isomorphously substituting silicon centers), isolated ions in cationic positions in zeolite channels, binuclear and oligonuclear iron complexes in extra-framework positions, iron oxide nanoparticles (size <2 nm), and large iron oxide particles (FcjOj) in a wide distribution (up to 25 nm in size) located in the surface of the zeolite crystal (Perez-Ramirez et al., 2002). The electrochemistry of such materials will be reviewed in Chapter 8. 

The basket-handle and picket-fence porphyrins show dramatic effects not only during metallation and binding of small molecules but in their redox and coordination chemistry. Detailed studies on the electrochemistry of the iron complex have been made paralleling the earlier electrochemical studies on the free base, magnesium and zinc complexes of 192. and 201 ... 

Although, as already mentioned, the iron II and III oxidation states are so dominant, we will nevertheless attempt to equally treat in this chapter, the electrochemistry of iron complexes in every documented oxidation state. Besides, despite the fact that iron will be considered almost exclusively, the redox chemistry of the other metals of the iron group, ruthenium and osmium, will also be discussed, together with its applications in bioelectrochemistry.

In Case study 5.2, we add the complication of a known faradaic reaction to the CV of the blank cell. Ferricyanide is a well-known, relatively stable iron complex with experimentally observable, reversible electrochemical behavior. For simplicity, in this chapter, we use ferricyanide when we refer to potassium ferricyanide. Ferricyanide follows a single, one-electron reduction to ferrocyanide and has been used as an educational tool for electrochemistry. In particular, two articles cover the primary analyses for CV using ferricyanide under reversible conditions [22, 23], Here, we follow the criteria outlined in the study by Kissinger and Heineman and use the data as a tool to understand biofilm CVs. We evaluate the scan rate dependence, electrode material and addition of rotation (to control mass transfer) and estimate some diagnostic parameters listed in Table 5.2. Figure 5.7 shows a picture of the fully assembled electrochemical cell with the yellow-colored solution containing ferricyanide. It was in this cell that all the ferricyanide results were obtained. 

Iron(II) alkyl anions fFe(Por)R (R = Me, t-Bu) do not insert CO directly, but do upon one-electron oxidation to Fe(Por)R to give the acyl species Fe(Por)C(0)R, which can in turn be reduced to the iron(II) acyl Fe(Por)C(0)R]. This process competes with homolysis of Fe(Por)R, and the resulting iron(II) porphyrin is stabilized by formation of the carbonyl complex Fe(Por)(CO). Benzyl and phenyl iron(III) complexes do not insert CO, with the former undergoing decomposition and the latter forming a six-coordinate adduct, [Fe(Por)(Ph)(CO) upon reduction to iron(ll). The failure of Fe(Por)Ph to insert CO was attributed to the stronger Fe—C bond in the aryl complexes. The electrochemistry of the iron(lll) acyl complexes Fe(Por)C(0)R was investigated as part of this study, and showed two reversible reductions (to Fe(ll) and Fe(l) acyl complexes, formally) and one irreversible oxidation process."" ...
