Abstract: | There is a controversial debate if a magnetic field can influence the rate of electron transfer (ET) reactions. In this paper, we report kinetic measurements of the ET rate constants for the redox couples [IrCl6]2-/[IrCl6]3-, [Fe(CN)6]3-/[Fe(CN)6]4-, and [Fe(H2O)6]3+/[Fe(H2O)6]2+ in magnetic fields up to 1 T. To reduce effects arising from magnetically induced mass transport (magnetohydrodynamic effect), disk microelectrodes with a diameter of 50 microm were used in potentiodynamic (cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry) and in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments. None of the investigated redox couples showed a magnetic field effect on the ET rate constant. |
