The rates of electron transfer from OsL'32+ to FeL33+, L and L'representing 2, 2'-bipyridine or its derivatives, havebeen measured by the stopped-flow method at very low reactant and electrolyte concentrations in acetonitrile. Electrolyte concentrations, temperature, and ligands were varied. Also, Evalues for the reactions investigated were determined from electrochemical-cell emf measurements. Conductance measurements at low concentrations of FeL'3A2 and CoL3A3, A'representing PF6~ or C10< f, were made to investigate ion association between PF6~ or C10< f and large complex cations having the same ligands as the reactants. No evidence was found for ion association of the 2: 1 electrolytes, but some association occurs for most 3: 1 electrolytes. Treating ion association as being due to ion-pair formation gives formation constants, KA, for C104~ that are~ 3 times those for PF6". Catalysis of the electron-transfer reactions by anions is the result of rapid reaction of OsL'32+ with ion pairs, FeL3-A2+. Ion pairs with C104~ or PF6" react atabout the same rate; C104" is the better catalyst because of the greater association of FeL33+ with C104 “. The changes in specific rates of electron transferwith electrolyte concentration are interpreted quantitatively by considering three paths, reaction of OsL'32+ with FeL33+, FeL3-PF62+, or FeL3-CI042+, and using the Bransted-Bjerrum treatment with Debye-Hilckel activity-coefficient corrections. Values of KA and a0, the distance of closest approach of ions, were obtained from analysis of the conductance data. Specific rates varied little with temperature; for the bare-ion path the Arrhenius activation energy,£ act= 0.7±1.1 kcal mol" 1 and for the ion-pair paths£ act= 3.6±1.5 kcal mol" 1. The£ value for the reaction with L= L'= 4, 4'-dimethyl-2, 2'-bipyridine is 0.224±0.002 V in the temperature range from 25 to 40 C, and£= 0.127±0.005 V at 25 C for the reaction with L'as above and with L= 4, 4'-diphenyl-2, 2'-bipyridine. Comparison of the measured rate constants with theoretical estimates based on the Marcus-Sutin model, involving hard spheres reacting in a continuous, unsaturated dielectric medium, shows that the best agreement is obtained by using minimum reactant-separation distances. This observation indicates that electron transfer
