ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDY OF THE HETEROBIMETALLIC COMPLEX MENC(CO)(2)MN(DPPM)(2)PT(H)(CNME)](PF6-)-P--CARBON ELECTRODE( AT A GLASSY)

Cyclic voltammetry (CV), convolution-deconvolution transformation of c urrent, chronopotentiometry (CP), and digital simulation studies were used to evaluate the kinetic parameters of the electrode reaction of t he hetero-bimetallic complex [MeNC(CO)(2)Mn(dppm)(2)Pt(H)(CNMe)](PF6-) -P-+ in dichloromethane at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). It was fou nd that the complex undergoes a reduction step at -0.895+/-0.01 V and two anodic steps at +0.903+/-0.01 V and 1.370+/-0.01 V. The reduction and oxidation steps are followed by a rapid chemical process. On the b asis of the electrochemical results, an overall oxidation process was found to proceed as EEC, while the reduction process proceeds accordin g to an ECEC scheme.
