Electron transfer between neptunium(VI) and substituted 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2′-bipyridine complexes of iron(II)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ic50225a074

The kinetics of electron transfer between Np(VI) and some complexes of iron(II) with phenanthroline-like ligands have been investigated by means of a stopped-flow spectrophotometric technique. The rate constants and the related activation parameters have been discussed in the light of the Marcus theory for outer-sphere electron transfers.
