Abstract:
The study of the so-called aqueous complexation-dissociation coupled to transfer (ACDT) mechanism is extended to systems where the ligand species is not neutral and so the charge of the two transferable ions is different (z1 ≠ z2). This has a profound effect on the voltammetric response of the system, which shows a complex behaviour depending on the chemical kinetics, the difference between the lipophilicity of the two ions and the applied potential. Such response is modelled making use of the diffusive-kinetic steady state (dkss) approach, obtaining analytical expressions for the current-potential-time curves in normal pulse, derivative and differential multipulse voltammetries. In addition, manageable expressions for the concentration profiles, interfacial fluxes and interfacial concentrations of all the species either side of the liquid|liquid interface are derived. From them, the effect on the voltammograms of the characteristics of the chemical reaction and the lipophilicity of the ions is thoroughly studied, comparing the cases where the ions carry the same and a different charge. The last case shows some striking behaviours that can be understood from the analysis of the concentration profiles.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
