The carbonyl platinum anions, [Pt3(CO)6]2, (n = 1-6,10) were first synthesized and characterized by Chini and coworkers1 3. They obtained these compounds by reaction of Pt(IV) or Pt(II) salts at room temperature with bases such as sodium hydroxide or sodium acetate under a carbon monoxide atmosphere. The product composition is quite sensitive to the Pt-base ratio, reaction time, and reaction conditions. As a consequence of this sensitivity, product mixtures with An = 1 are usually obtained, which are separable only with difficulty by fractional crystallization. Interest in this series of compounds for (a) their unique redox solution chemistry, (b) their use as precursors for higher nuclearity carbonyl platinum anions,4 and (c) their use as precursors for novel supported Pt catalysts5 8 prompted efforts to develop... 

This form of cell is shown schematically in Fig. 9.24. The anolyte and catholyte are different redox solutions which flow or are pumped past inert electrodes. The cell is constructed of two compartments separated by an anion-selective semi-permeable membrane. The spent solutions are retained in storage tanks and the whole process is reversed during charge. The general cell reaction is thus...

SULFINT HP A variant of the Sulfint process, which operated at high pressure. It incorporates a high-pressure filtration step to remove particles of sulfur from the redox solution before it is depressurized. Developed by IFP and Le Gaz Integral and piloted at Soings-en-Sologne, France, in 2001.

The cell delivers cnrrent / at voltage V. Neglecting the effect of internal resistance, qV is the difference between the quasi-Fermi level ftp of the illuminated photoelectrode and the Fermi level o,r of the redox solution. The counter electrode should be virtually nonpolarised so its potential departs httle from when current is drawn. The two electrodes need not have the same area but must pass the same current. 

Let us consider the voltage first. When a metal electrode M (— the electrode whose interface with the solution we investigate henceforth referred to the woi k-ing electrode is dipped into an electrolyte solution and equilibrium is established, an electrostatic potential is established between the two phases. What is usually measured (see Fig. 17.1) is the potential difference between this electrode and a reference half cell, R—say a platinum electrode in contact with some fixed redox solution which in turn is connected by a capillary to the close neighborhood of... 

Simple redox solutes, ferrocene, N, N, N, JV-tetramethyl-l,4-phenylenediam-ine, decamethylferrocene, bis(i-propylcyclopentadienyl) iron(ll), [Ru(phen)j] (0104)2, [Fe(bpy)3](0104)2, [Co(bpy)3](0104)2, and iodine have been studied at electrodes modified with polymeric fullerene films. FuUerene-modified electrodes were prepared by electropolymerization of Cjq initiated by traces of dioxygen or by simultaneous electroreduction of fullerene and Pd(ll) acetate trimer. For the former films, the electrochemical activity decreases upon potential cycling. The electrochemical activity of the film is stabihzed by the redox solute added to the electropolimerization stage due to the catalytic oxidation of the fullerene film by the oxidized form of the redox system. Similarly, positively charged species can also be incorporated into the structure of the film. The reversible behavior of redox solutes decreases with the increase in the thickness of the Pd/C q film. This film also incorporates ferricinium ion, N, N, N, N-tetramethyl-l,4-phenylenediamine cation, decamethylferricinium ion, and to a smaller degree [Co(bpy)3]"+ [53]. 

Several other attempts have been made by various authors to avoid anodic corrosion at n-type electrodes and surface recombination at p-type electrodes, by modifying the surface or by depositing a metal film on the electrode in order to catalyse a reaction. It has been frequently overlooked that the latter procedure leads to a semiconductor-metal junction (Schottky junction) which by itself is a photovoltaic cell (see Section 2.2) [14, 27]. In the extreme case, then only the metal is contacting the redox solution. We have then a pure solid state photovoltaic system which is contacting the solution via a metal. Accordingly, catalysis at the semiconductor electrode plays a minor role under these circumstances. 

To date, this approach has been used primarily as the foundation of sensing of target compounds in a solution through the use of electrodes coated with DNA aptamers, allowing for nanomolar to subnanomolar detection. For example, Lee and co-workers have reported the development of an EIS aptamer-based device for thrombin detection whose detector part is no bigger than 25 mm [31]. Since the use of a redox solution poses certain risks to the sample and immobilized molecules, novel methods are being developed that would abolish the need for its use [28]. 

Figure 2.9 Typical EIS device. Auxiliary, working, and reference electrodes are shown in gold, blue, and green, respectively. In a solution (gray transparent cube), a redox compound such as Fe(CN)6 will complete the circuit between the auxiliary and working electrodes, but upon application of a protein that would bind to a SM immobilized on the working electrode, the access of the redox solute may be severely limited, resulting in impedance changes.

Aqueous species with fast electron-transfer kinetics at the surface of a platinum electrode are able to produce Nemstian potentials. However, a theoretical effort to model the rate of equilibration between platinum and a redox solution was only partially successful, probably due to reactions not included in the model. The shape of the theoretical Eh-time drift curve matched the observed shape for iron-bearing solutions, but the modeled rate of approach to equilibrium was much faster than the observed rate.
