β¦ Synopsis
The kinetics of a typical ion-transfer reaction (ITR), like the reduction of Cd2+ ions, across surfactant monolayers is studied in methanol by means of dc-polarography. Combining kinetic parameters with adsorption data an elucidation of the mechanism of the inhibited discharge of Cd*+ is attempted. The analysis of the experimental data does not seem to confirm the incorporation of the pre-adsorbed surfactant molecules by the activated complex, at 0 z 1, which has been repeatedly shown to occur in aqueous systems.

The saddle point for the proton transfer invohred in the equilibrium 2-hydroxypyridine = 2-pyridone has been calculated in it 3-21G basis to be 206 kJ mol-\* above the hctim form, for a unimo!ecular mechanism. This barrier is estimated to be rc-du=d to 46 kJ mol-l in the self-associated dimer.
