Ultrasounds in voltammetry of irreversible processes of silicon organic compounds In search of thermodynamic consequences

Abstract

The electron transfer in the course of the electrochemical oxidation of hexamethyldisilane and the electroreduction of chlorotrimethylsilane in anhydrous acetonitrile was shown to follow a dissociative mechanism. The same processes carried out upon sonication with ultrasounds of low (20 kHz) and high (500 kHz) frequency did not reveal any decrease of the effective potential. The effect of ultrasounds was only to intensify the mass transfer and to accelerate the Cl–F exchange of chlorotrimethylsilane with the fluorine anion provided by the supporting electrolyte.

Les ultrasons en voltame′trie des processus irre′versibles des compose′s organique du silicium. A la recherche de conse′quences thermodynamique. Il a e′te′ de′montre′ que les re′actions e′lectrochimiques d'oxydation de l'hexame′thyldisilane et de re′duction du chlorotrime′thylsilane dans l'ace′tonitrile anhydre avaient lieu suivant un me′canisme de transfert d'e′lectron dissociatif. Lorsque ces mêmes re′actions sont conduites en pre′sence d'ultrasons de basse ou de haute fre′quence (20 ou 500kHz), aucune diminution du potentiel effectif n'est observe′. L'unique effet des ultrasons a e′te′ d'accroître le transfert de masse et d'acce′le′rer l'e′change Cl–F du chlorotrime′thylsilane avec l'anion fluorure de l'e′lectrolyte support.
