A peroxide dianion (O22-) can be isolated within the cavity of hexacarboxamide cryptand, [(O2)∪mBDCA-5t-H 6]2-, stabilized by hydrogen bonding but otherwise free of proton or metal-ion association. This feature has allowed the electron-transfer (ET) kinetics of isolated peroxide to be examined chemically and electrochemically. The ET of [(O2)∪mBDCA-5t-H6] 2- with a series of seven quinones, with reduction potentials spanning 1 V, has been examined by stopped-flow spectroscopy. The kinetics of the homogeneous ET reaction has been correlated to heterogeneous ET kinetics as measured electrochemically to provide a unified description of ET between the Butler-Volmer and Marcus models. The chemical and electrochemical oxidation kinetics together indicate that the oxidative ET of O22- occurs by an outer-sphere mechanism that exhibits significant nonadiabatic character, suggesting that the highest occupied molecular orbital of O 22- within the cryptand is sterically shielded from the oxidizing species. An understanding of the ET chemistry of a free peroxide dianion will be useful in studies of metal-air batteries and the use of [(O 2)∪mBDCA-5t-H6]2- as a chemical reagent.

The oxidation of hydroquinone (QH2) was investigated for the first time at liquid/liquid (L/L) interface by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). In this study, electron transfer (ET) from QH2 in aqueous to ferrocene (Fc) in nitrobenzene (NB) was probed. The apparent heterogeneous rate constants for ET reactions were obtained by fitting the experimental approach curves to the theoretical values. The results showed that the rate constants for oxidation reaction of QH2 were sensitive to the changes of the driving force, which increased as the driving force increased. In addition, factors that would affect ET of QH2 were studied. Experimental results indicated ion situation around QH2 molecule could change the magnitude of the rate constants because the capability of oxidation of QH2 would be affected by them.
