Abstract

A surface redox reaction of a strongly adsorbed redox couple involving interactions between the adsorbed particles was
analyzed theoretically under conditions of square-wave voltammetry (SWV). If uniform interactions act between the adsorbed
particles, the effect of interaction forces is represented through the product of the relative surface coverage and Frumkin
interaction parameter �a. The kinetics of the redox reaction in the presence of uniform interactions are a function of the apparent
rate constant defined as ks,app.=ks exp(−2a�), where ks is a real standard rate constant. The apparent reversibility of the redox
reaction is determined solely by a dimensionless kinetic parameter defined as the ratio of the apparent rate constant and the signal
frequency, �=ks,app/f. This dimensionless kinetic parameter unifies the effects of both the interaction forces and the charge
transfer rate. The height of the dimensionless response depends parabolically on the kinetic parameter �, as a consequence of the
phenomenon known as a ‘quasireversible maximum’. Based on this peculiarity, a method for estimating the real standard rate
constant ks and Frumkin interaction parameter a is proposed. The theoretical results are compared qualitatively with the
experimental SW voltammograms of probucole.
