In contrast with the sensors described elsewhere in this Chapter, the device proposed by the authors group uses no reagent, but photons, to induce a photochemical reaction, and involves electrochemical detection of the photochemical product, which allows one to continuously monitor the formation of the electroactive product. Kinetic monitoring increases the selectivity of determinations by eliminating matrix effects and the contribution of side reactions, whether slower or faster than the main reaction. The electrochemical system chosen for implementation of this special sensor was the Fe(II)/C204 couple, which was used for the kinetic determination of oxalate ion based on the following reaction ... 

Detailed kinetic exploration of the relaxation of the initially formed radical ion pair would probably be of most utility in addressing the question of the degree of charge separation in exciplex or in radical ion pairs. Rentzepis and coworkers have recently found that in strongly interacting donor-acceptor pairs, for example, indene-chloranil, the initially formed ion pair relaxes within a few picoseconds to an equilibrated solvated complex (67). Time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy has also been used recently as a kinetic monitor for radical ion reactivity (68). 

Interestingly, protein adsorption is also a field of biological interfacial chemistry which parallels that of synthetic materials at the solid - liquid interface. A number of spectroscopic advances have been made which allow FT-IR to be used in kinetic monitoring of protein adsorption on metals and "biocompatible" polymers. In addition to providing in - situ measurements of total adsorbed protein, FT-IR can also yield information about perturbation of protein secondary structure in adsorbed layers.

An example of the phase relaxation curve observed for the alkyl radical in irradiated polyethylene has already been shown in Fig. 5. Regardless of the radiation dose, the relaxation kinetics monitored at the center of the ESR spectrum can be expressed empirically by the following equation ...

Fig. 9 (C) shows a plot of data points obtained in a manner similar to that illustrated in panel (B) but at other temperatures ranging from 13 to 225 K and for times ranging from 25 s to 10 m, as tabulated in Fig. 9 (D). In Fig. 9 (C), the percentages ofP700 lost ( ) and reduced FeS-A" lost (o) agree well with the expected values derived from the decay kinetics monitored by optical spectroscopy cf. Fig. 5). Thus, the close match between the dark decay of both species supports the notion that reduced iron-sulfur protein FeS-A is the component that is recombining with P700. ...

Time resolved electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy has been extensively used for solution phase kinetic studies of fast chemical processes initiated by ionizing radiation. A wealth of information on rate parameters and reaction mechanisms on a variety of chemical reactions has been obtained by this technique. As valuable as these techniques are, they have limitations. In particular, the electronic spectra in solution are often broad and featureless and offer little structural information. As a consequence, the identification of a reaction intermediate is based on chemical intuition and not on its spectral characteristics. Moreover, when more than one transient is present in the system with overlapping electronic absorption, the kinetic monitoring of the individual concentration becomes difficult. Vibra-...

The means by which enzymes facilitate the homolytic cleavage of the Co-C5 bond has been addressed in detail in studies of MCM. This process can be kinetically monitored by the spectral change from Co(III) in coenzyme B12 to that of cob(II)alamin. This spectral change depends on the addition of the substrate to the complex of MCM and adenosylcobalamin. The kinetic barrier to bond cleavage is lowered by 17 kcalmol . " " Moreover, the rate of this change displays a kinetic isotope effect of >20 (Fh/F ) when the deuterated substrate is employed. " It was concluded that Co-C5 bond cleavage and hydrogen abstraction from the substrate are kinetically coupled. This effect has been reported for other coenzyme Bj2-dependent reactions as well. 

Basallote has shown that protonation of the hydride in eq 35 results in an Fe(Ti -H2) complex [55]. The kinetics (monitored electrochemically) showed an inverse kinetic isotope effect consistent with the mechanism shown [56] — normal kinetic isotope effects are expected for metal protonation. Again (eq 18, Section 2.3.1.1) [36], no correlation between the rate of protonation and the apparent p (HX) in THF [38] was observed, possibly due to homoconjugate or ion pairing interactions.

As a rule, these determinations use the initial reaction rate method. Their prominence in recent years can be ascribed to the increasing availability of inexpensive mixing systems such as modular stopped-flow and continuous-addition-of-reagent devices, which enable kinetic monitoring.
