β¦ Synopsis
Potential step chrunocoulometric methods were used to measure kinetic parameters for the oxidation of ferrocene at platinum and vitreous carbon electrodes in acetonitrile. The formal rate constants observed, k;-0.02 cm s-I, were independent of electrode material and of the supporting electrolyte chosen (LiCIO,, TEAP or TEABF&). After correcting for the effecrs of double layer structure. the experimental activation energy for electron transfer was found to be AG * (exp) = 0.30 + 0.01 eV molecule-' which agreed within 207" with a theoretical value AG l (theor) = 0.26 eV molecule-' calculated for actlvatron by solvent repolarization alone from the Born equation.
