Abstract

Effect of the Ψ1 potential on various kinetic modes of the β-hydroxyethyl radical reduction is studied using laser photoemission (LPE). A charged proton donor is found to make no impact on the electron transfer rate during the reduction of adsorbed radicals. Experimental results fit the model proposed earlier for the electroreduction of intermediates, which includes two parallel pathways for electron transfer—onto an adsorbed radical and onto a metastable complex radical–proton donor. Demonstrated is a complete analogy between time-resolved voltammograms for LPE-generated intermediates and classic polarograms.
