Abstract

The kinetics of the transfer of a series of hydrophilic monovalent anions across the water/nitrobenzene (W/NB)
interface has been studied by means of thin organic film-modified electrodes in combination with electrochemical
impedance spectroscopy and square-wave voltammetry. The studied ions are Cl-, Br-, I-, ClO4
-, NO3
-, SCN-, and
CH3COO-. The electrode assembly comprises a graphite electrode (GE) covered with a thin NB film containing a
neutral strongly hydrophobic redox probe (decamethylferrocene or lutetium bis(tetra-tert-butylphthalocyaninato)) and
an organic supporting electrolyte. The modified electrode is immersed in an aqueous solution containing a supporting
electrolyte and transferring ions, and used in a conventional three-electrode configuration. Upon oxidation of the redox
probe, the overall electrochemical process proceeds as an electron-ion charge-transfer reaction coupling the electron
transfer at the GE/NB interface and compensates ion transfer across the W/NB interface. The rate of the ion transfer
across the W/NB interface is the limiting step in the kinetics of the overall coupled electron-ion transfer reaction.
Moreover, the transferring ion that is initially present in the aqueous phase only at a concentration lower than the redox
probe, controls the mass transfer regime in the overall reaction. A rate equation describing the kinetics of the ion
transfer that is valid for the conditions at thin organic film-modified electrodes is derived. Kinetic data measured with
two electrochemical techniques are in very good agreement.
