Pressure effect on the rate of outer-sphere electron-transfer within the ion-pair between µ-ethylenediaminetetra-acetato-di-µ-oxo-bis[oxomolybdate(V)] and µ-hyperoxo-bis[penta-amminecobalt(III)] ions

Abstract

The title reaction gave large positive activation volumes for both the precursor (ion-pair) formation constant and the first-order electron-transfer rate constant within the ion-pair; this result was interpreted mainly in terms of the change in solvation state in each process.
