Processes in Solution

A number of attempts have been made to predict thermodynamic functions for ionizations on the basis of electrostatic theory (Benson, 1960d Frost and Pearson, 1961a). The simple Born treatment, which considers the solvent as a continuous dielectric, gives for the free energy of separation of a pair of spherical charges, ZK e and ZB e, in a medium of dielectric constant D, 

The electrostatic free energy of ionization, as calculated from (11) with ZA = +1 and ZB = — 1, is always positive. The quantity d In D/dT is always negative because thermal motion overcomes the orientation of dipoles in an electric field therefore A8el is always negative. The values of D, AFel, AHa, and ASel for several representative solvents are given in Table 8 (Frost and Pearson, 1961). Comparison with the data in 

Experimentally it is found that AS0 for the dissociation of carboxylic acids lies between —16 and —29 e.u. (Bell, 1959a). It is therefore of the same order as the —18 e.u. predicted by the naive electrostatic

One aspect that reflects the electronic configuration of fullerenes relates to the electrochemically induced reduction and oxidation processes in solution. In good agreement with the tlireefold degenerate LUMO, the redox chemistry of [60]fullerene, investigated primarily with cyclic voltammetry and Osteryoung square wave voltammetry, unravels six reversible, one-electron reduction steps with potentials that are equally separated from each other. The separation between any two successive reduction steps is -450 50 mV. The low reduction potential (only -0.44 V versus SCE) of the process, that corresponds to the generation of the rt-radical anion 131,109,110,111 and 1121, deserves special attention.

Electropolishing techniques utilise anodic potentials and currents to aid dissolution and passivation and thus to promote the polishing process in solutions akin to those used in chemical polishing. The solutions have the same basic constitution with three mechanistic requirements—oxidant (A), contaminater (B) and diffusion layer promoter (C) —but, by using anodic currents, less concentrated acid solutions can be used and an additional variable for process flexibility and control is available.
