The oxidation and rereduction of the redox liquids para-N,N,N′,N′-tetrahexylphenylenediamine (THPD) and para-N,N,N′-trihexylphenylenediamine (TriHPD) associated with anion and proton insertion and expulsion are studied as a function of the proton concentration in aqueous NaClO 4 electrolyte. Voltammetric, in situ UV/vis-spectroelectrochemical, and quartz crystal microbalance techniques are employed. The biphasic acidbase equilibria of the redox liquids involving protonation and simultaneous anion transfer from the aqueous phase are shown to exhibit only small deviation from ideal behavior and well-defined biphasic dissociation constants, pK A,biphasic have been determined. However, the protonation of the bulk redox liquids is shown to be dominated by intermolecular rather than intramolecular factors. In particular, the ability of THPD to undergo bulk protonation by HClO 4 is higher (pK A2,biphasic ) 5.1) compared to that of TriHPD (pK A2,biphasic ) 3.9); this is opposite to the behavior predicted on the basis of the estimated values for the aqueous protonation equilibrium constants, pK A2 ) 7.5 ( 0.5 and pK A2 ) 8.8 ( 0.5 for THPD and TriHPD, respectively. Further, the electrochemically driven deprotonation occurs irrespective of protonation constants at essentially the same potential for both materials. The three-phase junction electrode|redox liquid|aqueous electrolyte for the initiation of the anion and proton insertion-electrochemical reactions is shown to be the key to processes observed for neutral redox liquids, whereas ionic redox liquids show reactivity independent of the three-phase junction due to sufficient ionic bulk conductivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
