Abstract
dl Aspartic acid is reduced at the d.m.e. in 0.1M tetramethylammonium bromide, tetraethylammonium bromide, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, sodium perchlorate and lithium sulphate; in aqueous media. The waves are irreversible, diffusion controlled involving one electron transfer process determined by millicoulometry. The values of the kinetic parameters, transfer coefficient (α) and formal rate constant (k° f, h) have been calculated byKoutecky's method and are 0.479 and 15.9×10−16 respectively.
