The Kinetics of Electron Transfer Reactions in and at Films of Electroactive Polymers.

Abstract

Films of polymers and copolymers of transition metal complexes can be prepared on electrodes by reduction of vinyl substituted monomers like Ru(bpy) (vpy) and Os(bpy) (4-pyNHCOCH-CHPh). Using several methods, we have studied the transport of electrons through the mixed valent oxidation state of the films, and the electrocatalytic oxidation and reduction of other electroactive substances contacting the film from the solution side. The interrelationship of the rate of these processes in electrocatalytic electrode design is also discussed.
