The electron transfer rate constants in the reduction of Ti4+ and oxidation of Ti3+ in water and in water DMF and water DMSO mixtures were determined by square-wave polarography and by analysis of the DC and pulse polarographic curves. The two reactions occur at different potentials due to the rapid consecutive transformation of the primary product of the electrode reaction. Thus the rate constants are no standard rate constants, and depend on the method employed. The effect of the organic co-solvent varies for both reactions as a consequence of dependence of the degree of electrode coverage on potential. Generally, the adsorbed organic substance exerts an accelerating catalytic effect.

AbstractThe effects of the chemical environment of menaquinones (all-trans MK-4 and all-trans MK-7) incorporated in lipid monolayers on mercury electrodes have been studied with respect to the thermodynamics and kinetics of their electrochemistry. The chemical environment relates to the composition of lipid films as well as the adjacent aqueous phase. It could be shown that the addition of all-trans MK-4 to TMCL does not change the phase transition temperatures of TMCL. In case of DMPC monolayers, the presence of cholesterol has no effect on the thermodynamics (formal redox potentials) of all-trans MK-7, but the kinetics are affected. Addition of an inert electrolyte (sodium perchlorate; change of ionic strength) to the aqueous phase shifts the redox potentials of all-trans MK-7 only slightly. The formal redox potentials of all-trans MK-4 were determined in TMCL and nCL monolayers and found to be higher in nCL monolayers than in TMCL monolayers. The apparent electron transfer rate constants, transfer coefficients and activation energies of all-trans MK-4 in cardiolipins have been also determined. Most surprisingly, the apparent electron transfer rate constants of all-trans MK-4 exhibit an opposite pH dependence for TMCL and nCL films: the rate constants increase in TMCL films with increasing pH, but in nCL films they increase with decreasing pH. This study is a contribution to understand environmental effects on the redox properties of membrane bond redox systems. Graphical abstract

The rate constants for the reduction of V(III) and oxidation of V(II) were measured on a mercury electrode in water and water-dimethylsulphoxide mixtures. Their dependance on the concentration of DMSO differs from that in mixtures of water with an organic solvent of lower basicity. This can be attributed to the existence of different solvates of vanadium in solutions and to different values of the rate constant for these solvates on the electrode surface at different coverages with the organic component. The influence of DMSO both in the primary solvation sphere and in the electrode double layer on the electrode reaction rate is discussed.

Photoinduced electron-transfer processes between C 60 or C 70 and zinc octaethylporphyrin ( ZnOEP ) have been studied in polar solvents with the nanosecond laser flash photolysis method, observing the transient absorption spectra in the visible and near-IR regions. By the predominant excitation of ZnOEP with 532 nm laser light the transient absorption bands of 3 ZnOEP * decayed, accompanied by the appearance of the transient absorption bands of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. By the predominant excitation of C 60 and C 70 with 610 nm laser light the decays of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were observed, accompanied by the appearance of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The electron transfer rate constants (k et ) and the quantum yields (Φ et ) of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] formation via 3 ZnOEP * and [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] have been evaluated. These values increase with the solvent polarity; in polar benzonitrile these values are higher than for other porphyrins such as zinc tetraphenylporphyrin. The back electron transfer rate constants were evaluated from the decays of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which also show a solvent polarity dependence.

The paper is a detailed study of the cyclic voltammetric behaviour of Eu3+ at HMDE in molar solutions of KCl, KBr, KI, KSCN and in 0.1M-EDTA solution with an indigenously built equipment. The computed values of the rate constants at various scan rates show good agreement with those reported by other electrochemical methods. In addition, the results indicate participation of a bridged activated complex in the electron-transfer step, the rate constants showing the trend SCN- > I- > Br- > Cl- usually observed for bridging order of these anions in homogeneous electron-transfer reactions. The results for Eu-EDTA system, however, indicate involvement of an outer sphere activated complex in the electrode reaction.

Electroreduction of Ni(II) and Co(II) has been carried out in aqueous mixtures of formamide, acetamide and urea. Electrode kinetics in terms of theories of irreversible waves have been studied. After calculating the rate constants by DELAHAY1 and Kou-TECKY2 treatments separately their variation with electrode potential has been used to calculate the product ‘ana’. The rate constants and ‘ana’ calculated from two different approaches show remarkable agreement. `ana’ records a gradual decrease with increasing amide content of the aqueous mixture.
