Abstract :
The electrochemical redox behavior of Mn(II)/Mn(IV) system at different environment have been investigated using cyclic voltammetry. In the CV two pairs of well defined cathodic and anodic peaks appear for transfer of two electrons in two separate steps. The peak position and peak currents are different for uncoordinated and coordinated manganese. The electrode processes are diffusion controlled. The effect of pH on the redox behavior of Mn(II)/Mn(IV) system has been studied using acetate buffer. Extent of interaction between Mn(II) and aspartic acid was also studied.
