Abstract

The reduction of the Cd(2,2,2)2+ complex has been studied in acetonitrile using polarography, chronocoulometry, and cyclic voltammetry. The corresponding kinetic parameters have been calculated and are compared with those obtained for the solvated cadmium cation in the same solvent. The study of the electrochemical reduction mechanism showed that the final stable products are the free ligand (2,2,2) and cadmium-amalgam. The stability constant of the cadmium cryptate in acetonitrile has been estimated as log Ks = 17.3 from the electrochemical measurements.
