ABSTRACT
Redox reaction volumes, obtained by high-pressure cyclic voltammetry, are reported for a selection tris(diimine), tris(diamine), hexaammine, and hexaaqua couples of Fe(III/II), Cr(III/II), Ru(III/II), and Co(III/II). Separation of the intrinsic and electrostrictive volume contributions for these couples has been achieved, some in both aqueous and acetonitrile solutions. For the Co(phen)(3)(3+/2+) system, the intrinsic volume change is estimated to be +15.3 +/- 2.1 cm(3) mol(-)(1) (based on measurements in water) and +16.5 +/- 2.0 cm(3) mol(-)(1) (in acetonitrile). For the Co(bipy)(3)(3+/2+) system, values are +12.7 +/- 1.4 cm(3) mol(-)(1) (in water) and +15.5 +/- 2.5 cm(3) mol(-)(1) (in acetonitrile). Using these experimentally determined intrinsic contributions, a simple structural model suggests that the intrinsic volume change for these reactions can be described using the change in effective volume of a sphere with radius close to that of the coordinating-atom-metal bond length. Electrostrictive volume changes for the 3+/2+ complex-ion couples are a function of solute size and coordinated ligands. For Ru(H(2)O)(6)(3+) and Fe(H(2)O)(6)(3+) reduction, volume behavior is significantly different from that of the other systems studied and can be rationalized in terms of possible H-bonding interactions with surrounding solvent which affect the electrostrictive volume changes but which are not available for the ammine and other complexes studied.
