A theoretical analysis of reversible and kinetically controlled electrode reactions in conditions of alternative differential multi-pulse voltammetry (ADMPV) is presented. The degree of reversibility, as well as symmetry of the electron transfer reaction, can be estimated by visual inspection of the ADMP voltammogram. The values of electron transfer coefficient and the standard rate constant of a simple electrode reaction Ox + ne− ⇄ Red, can be determined from the slope of linear dependence of the peak currents ratio on the logarithm of pulse duration. The criteria for recognition of reversible and kinetically controlled electrode reactions by alternative differential multi-pulse voltammetry are given.

The effect of bifunctional alcohols ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,2-propylene glycol (1,2 PG) on the kinetic parameters for the irreversible chromate ion reduction were investigated by polarographic and coulometric methods of analysis. The electroreduction of chromate ion in neutral bifunctional alcohol solutions proceeds according to the scheme: Cr(VI)–Cr(III)–Cr(II) and the values of the standard rate constant k*0 decrease in the order H2O > EG > 1,2 PG. The values of real activation energy, Q, activation energy of diffusion, QD, and frequency factor log A° have been calculated. The obtained values of QD as well as Q proved the diffusion nature of limiting current. The values of the frequency factor log A° decrease in the order H2O > EG > 1,2 PG, which points to a less favourable orientation of the electroactive ions at the electrode surface in glycols.

The standard electron-transfer heterogeneous rate constant of lithium, potassium, sodium and caesium amalgams in N,N-dimethylformamide was ascertained employing cyclic voltammetry in an effort to relate the presence of a non-equilibrium electrode reaction at the dropping lithium amalgam electrode to the variation of the lithium amalgam electrode potential with amalgam electrode con- figuration, i.e. whether streaming, dropping or stationary. Such variations are not observed at other alkali metal amalgam electrodes. ��� In the dipolar aprotic solvents the standard electron-transfer heterogeneous rate constant for the Li(Hg) electrode increases as the solvating power for Li+ decreases, i.e. dimethyl sulphoxide < di- methylformamide < propylene carbonate. Water is a much stronger solvator of Li+ than is propylene carbonate, but the electron transfer is faster in water than in propylene carbonate; the important role of entropic contributions in ion solvation is discussed as an explanation.

A detailed investigation of the electrochemical behavior of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in neutral solutions has been carried out at Hg and glassy carbon electrodes. At FAD concentrations of about 10−4 M, cyclic voltammetry (CV) shows a pair of anodic and cathodic peaks having a peak separation at low sweep rates indicative of a two-electron transfer process and yielding a formal redox potential for FAD of −0.206 ± 0.003 V vs. NHE at pH 7. Evidence for FAD adsorption was obtained in experiments at high sweep rates, from the effect of time of exposure of the electrode surface to FAD in solution and from the effect of the potential limits on the cyclic voltammetric response. The process of FAD adsorption was studied in detail in dilute FAD solutions (ca 10−6 M) using a hanging mercury drop electrode and the techniques of CV and ac voltammetry. Three distinct stages of FAD adsorption were observed and a model of the orientation of FAD on the electrode surface as a function of time and potential is presented. In addition, the kinetics of oxidation and reduction of adsorbed FAD was studied for each of the stages of FAD deposition, and a surface standard rate constant of ca. 40 s−1 was obtained for Stages II and III of FAD adsorption.
