KINETIC EVIDENCE FOR DIRECT ELECTRON-TRANSFER BETWEEN TRIS(4-BROMOPHENYL)-AMMONIUMYL AND THE ACETATE ANION IN ACETONITRILE SOLUTION

The reaction between tris(4-bromophenyl)ammoniumyl, electrogenerated from the parent amine, and the acetate anion has been studied in acetonitrile solution using rotating disc voltammetry and shown to involve a direct electron transfer reaction, resulting in an EC′ mechanism, in contrast to a previo...
