ELECTROCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF N,N'-PROPYLENE-BIS-(SALICYLIDENEIMINATO) MN(III) IN PHOSPHATE BUFFER SOLUTIONS

An electrochemical study on N,N'-Propylene-bis-(salicylideneiminato) M n(III) was performed using cyclic voltammetry with convolution-deconvo lution and digital simulation in phosphate buffer solutions of pH valu es ranging from 5-9.5 at a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). The reduction pathway of the investigated complex shows that a moderately fast transfer of one electron is followed by a very fast chemical reac tion (E(q)C(irr) scheme). The electrochemical parameters have been det ermined experimentally and via digital simulation experiments.
