C. Mihailciuc et al., ISOTHERMAL ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEMS OBTAIN ED BY COUPLING IN SERIES, IN CLOSED-CIRCUIT, OF SOME INTERFACES BETWEEN 2 IMMISCIBLE ELECTROLYTICSOLUTIONS, Revista de chimie, 48(10-11), 1997, pp. 878-883
In this paper the free-energy coupling of ion transfer (and electron t
ransfer) from a qualitative point of view is studied. The main role of
the hydrophilicity-hidrophobicity balance of the transferable ion is
emphasized. The equilibrium distribution of an ionic redox couple in a
two-phase system can be controlled by using appropriate common counte
rions, or indifferent electrolytes. The ''mixed potential'' behaviour
of the electrical tension of an ITIES with at least two transferable i
ons is considered.
