Substitution rates have been measured for reaction of a number of pyridines with the Nafion-bound Ru(NH/sub 3/)/sub 5/(H/sub 2/O)/sup 2 +/ complex. Reaction activities have been determined by electrochemical techniques, which also allow for determination of site thermodynamics and heterogeneity during the course of the reaction. Diffusion-coefficient effects are investigated by variation in polymer film thickness, and partition coefficients have been determined under equilibrium conditions by optical absorbance techniques. The partition-coefficient corrected rate law is found to be first order in Nafion-bound (Ru/sup II/) and first order in ligand concentration in the polymer phase. The partition-coefficient corrected bimolecular rate constants for a variety of pyridine ligands are found to vary by a factor of 5, which contrasts with the relatively constant substitution rates observed in aqueous solution. Also, sterically hindered ligands, such as 2-propylpyridine, exhibit surprisingly high substitution rate constants on the Nafion-bound Ru/sup II/ ion. These rate data indicate that pronounced molecular reactivity changes can occur upon electrode modification and have implications with respect to the design of chemically modified electrodes for use in electrocatalysis.
