An electron time-of-flight method applied to charge transport dynamics in a cobalt bipyridine redox polyether hybrid

An electrochemical time-of-flight technique is employed in the investigation of charge transport dynamics in a cobalt bipyridine redox polyether hybrid. Measurements of the apparent diffusion coefficient, D_APP, provide insight into electron self-exchange reactions in the undiluted molten metal complex. Results from time-of-flight measurements are compared to those from potential step chronoamperometry and cyclic voltammetry; good agreement is observed. Peak shapes are compared with simulations from a previous report; disparities noted are ascribed to differences in the potential pulse profile employed.
