Abstract
Ferricinium ion formed by the electrolytic oxidation of ferrocene in polar aprotic solvents is very sensitive to the presence of trace amounts of dissolved oxygen. By the use of current reversal chronopotentiometry and cyclic voltammetry, it was shown that a part of ferricinium ion rapidly decomposes according to unknown chemical processes.Keywords
