Abstract
Electrochemical parameters of 4,4'-(ferrocene-1,1'-diyldivinylene)bis(benzo-15-crown-5) were collected using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and chronopotentiometry at a glassy carbon electrode. One-electron quasi-reversible oxidation wave was obtained at Epa of 0.532 V and Epc of 0.387 V. The peak separation, ∆Ep, standard heterogeneous rate constant, k0, and diffusion coefficient, D, of the electrochemical species have been processed by convolution and deconvolution transformations. Digital simulations using the kinetic parameters were also performed.
