Abstract
The comparison between the response corresponding to a simple charge transfer taking place at an electroactive monolayer with that of an electrocatalytic process at a modified electrode are presented by using the multipulse potential techniques cyclic staircase voltammetry (CSCV) and cyclic square wave voltammetry (CSWV). General analytical and explicit equations for the IE responses have been tested by means of the study of the reduction of azobenzene monolayer at mercury electrode. The value of the chemical rate constant ( k c ' = 40 M 1 s 1 ) has been easily obtained from the cathodic plateau of the CSCV curves and from the best fitting between theoretical and experimental CSWV curves.
