Abstract
Steady-state voltammetry at the pipet-supported liquid/liquid interface has previously been used to measure kinetics of simple and facilitated ion transfer (IT) processes. Recently, we showed that the conventional experimental protocol and data analysis produce large uncertainties in kinetic parameters of rapid IT processes extracted from pipet voltammograms. Here, we used a new mode of nanopipet voltammetry, in which a transferable ion is initially present as a common ion in both liquid phases, and improved methodology for silanization of the outer pipet wall to investigate the kinetics of the rapid transfer of tetraethylammonium (TEA(+)) at the 1,2-dichloroethane/water interface. This reaction was often employed as a model system to check the IT theory. The determined standard rate constant and transfer coefficient of the TEA(+) transfer are compared with previously reported values to demonstrate limitations of conventional nanopipet voltammetry with a transferrable ion present only in one liquid phase.
