Voltammetric currents of transition metal complexes in films on electrodes increase with electron self exchange (hopping) rate k 11. In films, diffusion coefficients D f∝ k 11 c* f, where k 11 sets frequency of electron hopping attempts and c* f film concentration sets distance between probes. Cyclic voltammetry of Nafion films on electrodes for six probes, tris (2, 2'-bipyridyl) complexes, M (bpy) z+ 3 where M z+ is Ru 2+, Os 2+, Fe 2+, Cr 3+, Co 3+, and Co 2+, demonstrates D f varies linearly with k H 2 O 11, literature k 11 measured in water. From density of Ru (bpy) 2+ 3 exchanged Nafion 1.95 g/cm 3 and nominal equivalent weight 1100, geometry establishes volume limited, z-independent c* f for all M (bpy) z+ 3. For concentrations of Ru (bpy) 2+ 3 in HNO 3 where either Ru (bpy) 2+ 3: HNO 3 ratio is fixed or Ru (bpy) 2+ 3 is 1 mM and HNO 3 varies, c* f is statistically invariant. Based on aqueous titrations and dielectric constant sufficient to support ions, electron hopping is confined to hydrated domains of Nafion. From c* f, k 11 in Nafion k Naf 11 is estimated as, consistent with higher ion concentration in Nafion. Measured D f is 2× 10− 9 cm 2/s for Ru (bpy) 2+ 3 and Os (bpy) 2+ 3; 1× 10− 10 cm 2/s for Fe (bpy) 2+ 3 and Cr (bpy) 3+ 3; and 1.5× 10− 12 and 5× 10− 12 cm 2/s for Co (bpy) 2+ 3 and Co (bpy) 3+ 3. For physical diffusion D p≲ 10− 12 cm 2/s. A self consistent view of M (bpy) z+ 3 self exchange in Nafion is outlined. For Os (bpy) 2/3 3, k H 2 O 11≈ 4.5× 10 8/Ms.
