Abstract

When a chemical reaction is associated to the last product of a two-step successive electrochemical diffusional mechanism, such that causes regeneration of the intermediate electrochemically active compound (generated in the first electron transfer step), then the name of this mechanism in electrochemical terminology is EEC’ mechanism. In this work, for the first time this complex mechanism is solved under conditions of square-wave voltammetry, and the entire simulation MATHCAD file is provided for free. The voltammetric patterns of this mechanism are function of the electron transfer coefficients related to both electron transfer steps, of the kinetics of electron transfer of both electron transfer steps, and of the kinetics of regenerative chemical reaction. Plenty of interesting situation can be simulated at this mechanism, depending on the formal redox potentials of both electron transfer steps. Importance of this mechanism is found in the redox behavior of enzymes whose electrochemical transformation occurs in two successive steps.
