EC Mechanism (ec + mechanism)
Selected AbstractsSpectroelectrochemical and Voltammetric Studies of L -DOPAELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 2 2003Xiaoqiang Liu Abstract The electrooxidation of L -dopa at GC electrode was studied by in situ UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) and cyclic voltammetry. The mechanism of electrooxidation and some reaction parameters were obtained. The results showed that the whole electrooxidation reaction of L -dopa at glassy carbon (GC) electrode was an irreversible electrochemical process followed by a chemical reaction in neutral solution (EC mechanism). The spectroelectrochemical data were treated by the double logarithm method together with nonlinear regression, from which the formal potential E0=228,mV, the apparent electron-transfer number of the electrooxidation reaction ,n=0.376 (R=0.99, SD=0.26), the standard electrochemical rate constant k0=(3.93±0.12)×10,4,cm s,1 (SD=1.02×10,2), and the formation equilibrium constant of the following chemical reaction kc=(5.38±0.34)×10,1,s,1 (SD=1.02×10,2) were also obtained.

The results indicate the participation of electrochemically produced o -benzoquinones in the Michael reaction with 1,3-indandione to form the corresponding new catechol derivatives. On the basis of the EC mechanism, the observed homogeneous rate constants (kobs) of reaction of produced o -benzoquinones with 3-indandione were estimated by comparing the experimental cyclic voltammograms with the digitally simulated results. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The results indicate that the participation of o -benzoquinones (2a-f) in the Michael reaction with acetylcyclohexanone (ACH) to form the corresponding catechol derivatives (4a-f). Based on an EC mechanism, the homogeneous rate constants were estimated by comparing the experimental cyclic voltammetric responses with the digital simulated results.

The electrochemical response of VB6 could be significantly enhanced by using 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetra-methylpiperidine- N -oxyl (HO-TEMPO) as a mediator via an electrocatalytic EC' mechanism with the oxoammonium ion of HO-TEMPO as the active oxidant. The catalytic rate constant was determined to be 5.4×103 (mol*L,1),1*s,1 by using chronomperometq. [source] |
