Abstract

Cyclic voltammetric measurements of the reduction of the cadmium ion in dimethyl sulphoxide reveal that the rate of the electrode process is controlled by a first order homogeneous reaction which precedes charge transfer. The influence of the electrical double layer on the apparent rate of this preceding reaction is examined. The electrode process is interpreted in terms of rearrangement of the solvent sheath prior to electron transfer.
