Abstract
The dicarbollyliron (Cb2Fe-) redox reaction is studied at an amalgamated platinum electrode coated with a monolayer of behenic acid on top of which hemin is adsorbed. The redox reaction of Cb2Fe- involves two stages. First, an electrochemical reaction of adsorbed hemin proceeds, which involves the electron transfer through the dielectric monolayer; it is followed by the hemin’s chemical redox reaction with dissolved Cb2Fe-. It is shown that the adsorbed hemin transformation, no matter how small, is sufficient for the stimulation of the Cb2Fe- redox reaction.
