24. Transfer coefficients are defined using α for reductions and β(=1 - α) for oxidations. The oxidation of the Rh complex was determined to have a β value of 0.33 [1c]. Important to the present argument is the fact that redox couples in which bond making and breaking are concomitant with electron transfer generally do not have α values close to 0.5, which would imply a transition state structure midway between reactant and product. See Ref. [8, pp. 97-98], for a discussion of transfer coefficients.
25. p values were measured if the Au electrode was replaced by a Pt electrode. Freshly re-polished gold electrodes did, however, give reproducible results.
