Asymmetric and Anharmonic Electrode Kinetics: Evaluation of a Model for Electron Transfer with Concerted Rupture of Weak, Inner Shell Interactions

A Lennard-Jones 9–3 interaction is used to explore the occurrence of asymmetric and anharmonic effects in electrochemical electron transfer processes. The resulting Tafel plots capture qualitative features earlier models exploring at electrodes. Whilst weaknesses model are discussed, it review kinetics ferrocene-based self-assembled monolayers bathed by perchloric acid: significant interactions between ferricenium perchlorate ions, suggestive ion pairing, appear occur.
