The studies reported here provide detailed information on the kinetics and reaction mechanism determined by the scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) for Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox reactions in a system with excess chloride. In positive feedback mode, the tip voltammograms obtained consist of two partially overlapping reduction waves, not one quasi-reversible process as was always thought. The reduced species of (CuCl42-)-Cl-II and [(CuCl3)-Cl-II(H2O)](-) could coexist during the time scale of SECM measurements, due to the slowness of the ligand substitution reaction of [(CuCl3)-Cl-II(H2O)](-) to (CuCl42-)-Cl-II. The stepwise EC reactions of (CuCl42-)-Cl-II have experienced the same electron transfer kinetics as do outer-sphere reactants, while the reactions of [(CuCl3)-Cl-II(H2O)](-) followed concerted EC pathways and much lower rate constants can be obtained, mainly due to the nonadiabatic character of electron transfer (k(Pt)(0)/k(Au)(0) = 1.625). The findings of this study can offer valuable insights for analyzing the electrode kinetics of labile complexes of metals in aqueous solutions.
