Redox orbital temperature effects

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) can provide information about the thermodynamics of the redox process, kinetics of heterogeneous electron transfer reactions and coupled chemical reactions [32]. The reversible electron transfer steps inform us about the compound s ability to accept electrons however, experimental conditions, such as solvent and temperature also influence the voltammogram. The structure of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels of the compound can be determined from the number of CV waves and reduction potentials ( 1/2)- Moreover, the CV can serve as a spectroscopy as demonstrated by Heinze [32], since the characteristic shapes of the waves and their unequivocal positions on the potential scale are effectively a fingerprint of the individual electrochemical properties of the redox system.
