Polarographic Investigation of Binary and Ternary Pd(II) Complexes with L-2-Amino-3-(4-Hydroxy Phenyl) Propanoic Acid, 2,2´ -Bipyridine and 1,10-Phenanthroline

Abstract

Polarographic study of simple and mixed Pd(II) complexes with L-2-amino-3-(4-hydroxy phenyl) propanoic acid, 2,2´-bipyridine and 7,10-phenanthroline reveals that the reduction of these complexes involves two electron transfer, irreversible and diffusion controlled steps. The formal rate constants (K^º_f,h) and the transfer coefficient (αn) are determined by Koutecky's method as extended by Meites and Isreal. Theromodynamic parameters have also been evaluated.
