Rate constant-oxidation potential

Structural variations in a chemical species (molecule, ion, radical, carbene, benzyne etc.) generally result in changes in some measured property of the species. The property measured may be a chemical reactivity (rate or equilibrium constant, oxidation potential etc.), chemical property (resulting from a difference in intermolecular forces between an... 

Reactivity of The Carbonate Radical. —Rate constants for the reaction of C63H radicals with several complexes have been measured. Of the labile aquo-ions Co +, Zn +, Ni +, Cu ", and Mn +, only Co (A =2.8x 10 M cm ), Cu + ( 4.5 X 10 M s 0> and Mn (A =1.5x 10 M s ) react at measurable rates the oxidation potential of the metal ion appears to be a governing factor. Two Co -macrocycle complexes, [Coi (2)] and [Co (3)] (see below), whose equatorial co-ordination sites are substitution inert and axial sites have labile HjO, react 200 times faster than Colq, and here the rate is probably substitution limited. ... 

Morishima et al. [75, 76] have shown a remarkable effect of the polyelectrolyte surface potential on photoinduced ET in the laser photolysis of APh-x (8) and QPh-x (12) with viologens as electron acceptors. Decay profiles for the SPV (14) radical anion (SPV- ) generated by the photoinduced ET following a 347.1-nm laser excitation were monitored at 602 nm (Fig. 13) [75], For APh-9, the SPV- transient absorption persisted for several hundred microseconds after the laser pulse. The second-order rate constant (kb) for the back ET from SPV- to the oxidized Phen residue (Phen+) was estimated to be 8.7 x 107 M 1 s-1 for the APh-9-SPV system. For the monomer model system (AM(15)-SPV), on the other hand, kb was 2.8 x 109 M-1 s-1. This marked retardation of the back ET in the APh-9-SPV system is attributed to the electrostatic repulsion of SPV- by the electric field on the molecular surface of APh-9. The addition of NaCl decreases the electrostatic interaction. In fact, it increased the back ET rate. For example, at NaCl concentrations of 0.025 and 0.2 M, the value of kb increased to 2.5 x 108 and...

Oxidation potentials lead to a value of 7.9 x 10 for the equilibrium constant. Kinetic data for the reaction (from 0 to 55.6 °C) in acid perchlorate solutions (over the range 0.047-1.0 M) have been obtained spectrophotometrically by following the disappearance of V(V) (which absorbs strongly between 305 and 350 m/i) as a function of time. The second-order nature of the rate law... 

Glassy carbon electrodes polished with alumina and sonicated under clean conditions show activation for the ferrl-/ ferro-cyanlde couple and the oxidation of ascorbic acid. Heterogeneous rate constants for the ferrl-/ ferro-cyanlde couple are dependent on the quality of the water used to prepare the electrolyte solutions. For the highest purity solutions, the rate constants approach those measured on platinum. The linear scan voltammetrlc peak potential for ascorbic acid shifts 390 mV when electrodes are activated. 

FIG. 21 Complex IMPS spectra obtained for the photo-oxidation of DFcET by ZnYPPC" at the water-DCE interface (a). The opposite potential dependencies of the phenomenological ET rate constant and the porph5rin coverage (b) are responsible for the maximum on the flux of electron injection obtained from IMPS responses for DFcET and Fc (c). The potential dependence of the back electron-transfer rate constant is also shown in (d). (From Ref. 83. Reproduced by permission of The Royal Society of Chemistry.)... 

The ET reaction between aqueous oxidants and decamethylferrocene (DMFc), in both DCE and NB, has been studied over a wide range of conditions and shown to be a complex process [86]. The apparent potential-dependence of the ET rate constant was contrary to Butler-Volmer theory, when the interfacial potential drop at the ITIES was adjusted via the CIO4 concentration in the aqueous phase. The highest reaction rate was observed with the smallest concentration of CIO4 in the aqueous phase, which corresponded to the lowest driving force for the oxidation process. In contrast, the ET rate increased with driving force when this was adjusted via the redox potential of the aqueous oxidant. Moreover, a Butler-Volmer trend was found when TBA was used as the potential-determining ion, with an a value of 0.38 [86]. 

FIG. 25 Typical DPSC data for the oxidation of 10 mM bromide to bromine (forward step upper solid curve) and the collection of electrogenerated Br2 (reverse step lower solid curve) at a 25 pm diameter disk UME in aqueous 0.5 M sulfuric acid, at a distance of 2.8 pm from the interface with DCE. The period of the initial (generation) potential step was 10 ms. The upper dashed line is the theoretical response for the forward step at the defined tip-interface separation, with a diffusion coefficient for Br of 1.8 x 10 cm s . The remaining dashed lines are the reverse transients for irreversible transfer of Br2 (diffusion coefficient 9.4 x 10 cm s ) with various interfacial first-order rate constants, k, marked on the plot.
