Abstract
Solvent effects in simple electron transfer reactions are reviewed. It is shown that estimation of the outer sphere Gibbs activation energy is often difficult. Data for the electroreduction of Fe(H2O)(6)(3+) at single crystal gold electrodes are also discussed. This system shows a very large double layer effect. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
