Description

In tetraethylammonium perchlorate-acetonitrile solution, [Ru(acac)3] was reversibly reduced at the dropping mercury electrode to [Ru(acac)3]− with a conditional electrode reaction rate-contsant estimated to be ca. 0.2 cm s−1 or larger. The reduced form was stable in the solution under an inert gas atmosphere. In aqueous solutions, [Ru(acac)3] was reduced reversibly when the depolarizer concentration was less than 0.07 mol m−3 at 25 °C. At higher depolarizer concentrations, [Ru(acac)3] molecules were adsorbed onto the mercury surface, and the free molecules in solution were reduced through the adsorbed layer at a smaller rate; the adsorbed layer was removed at a certain negative potential, and the reversible reduction took place normally at the bare surface. The difference between reversible half-wave potentials observed in acetonitrile and aqueous solutions was discussed in terms of solvation energies of the oxidized and reduced forms.
