Mechanisms of vectorial transmembrane reduction of viologens across phosphatidylcholine bilayer membranes
摘要:
Zero-order kinetics were observed for one-electron transmembrane oxidation-reduction in vectorially organized phosphatidylcholine vesicles containing entrapped viologens and chemical reductants in the external aqueous phase. Oxygenation-reduction cycling established that the viologen was retained within the vesicle during this reaction. The rates were independent of the identities of the reactants and concentration of reductant as well as a wide variety of medium conditions. At high salt concentration, however, reduction of N,N'-diheptyl-4,4'-bipyridinium ion [(C7)2V2+], the most intensively studied viologen, exhibited anion-specific rate acceleration and autocatalysis, with the relative effectiveness of the anions following approximately the lyotropic series. Addition of valinomycin in K+-containing media or other lipophilic ions also accelerated the reaction rate. Sigmoidal kinetics were observed when valinomycin was present, and following reduction, the viologen was shown to have diffused out of the vesicles. The (C7)2V2+ dication was demonstrated to be membrane permeable by C-14-radioisotope-exchange techniques. These data were interpreted to indicate that net transmembrane oxidation-reduction occurred stepwise by (i) (C7)2V2+ ion diffusion across the bilayer, (ii) reduction in the external aqueous phase, and (iii) uptake of the (C7)2V+ product ion by the vesicles, with the overall reaction being rate limited by movement of charge-compensating aqueous ions. When other membrane-permeable ions were present, their translocation dissipated the membrane potential formed by outward diffusion of entrapped (C7)2V2+ ion, allowing accumulation of the (C7)2V+ radical cation at the external vesicle interface. This accumulation, in turn, gave rise to a (C7)2V+-mediated transmembrane redox pathway. The relative contribution of this pathway increased as the reaction proceeded, thereby accounting for the autocatalytic character of the reaction. Photostimulated transmembrane oxidation-reduction of entrapped (C7)2V2+ ion by EDTA ion was also observed with several photosensitizers that were confined to the external aqueous phase. These reactions could also be accommodated by the general reaction scheme presented but not by other previously advanced mechanisms.

The reaction of several viologenradical cations with colloidalTiO2 particles of 70 Å radius has been studied in detail. The electron-transfer reaction from methyl viologenradicals (MV+) to the TiO2 particles is controlled by the rate of the heterogeneous electron-transfer step. Protonation of the reduced particle follows the electron-transfer reaction in a temporally well separated reaction. Analysis

An electrolytic display device, specifically an electrochromic display based on viologen, employs metal ions in solution to catalyse the reduction of display material at the display electrodes. The metal ions are deposited faster than the display material and subsequently chemically reduce this material. Thallium (I) as the metal catalyst in combination with an oxy-anion of phosphorus accelerates the display reaction without causing undesired precipitation from the solution. Cadmium (II) in combination with sulphate anions is also an effective catalyst. Either a greater amount of display material may be deposited than without the catalyst or the same amount deposited in a shorter time.

Single-compartment, self-erasing, solution-phase electrochromic devices, solutions of electrochromic compounds for use as media of variable transmittance in such devices, and electrochromic compounds for such solutions are provided. The devices of the invention are surprisingly stable to cycling between light and dark states, have continuously variable transmittance to light as a function of electrical potential applied across the solution in a device, and have transmittance that can be varied over more than a factor of 10, from clear to dark or from dark to clear, in several seconds. Thus, the devices are especially suitable as variable transmittance components of variable transmission light filters, including windows, and variable reflectance mirrors, including anti-glare rearview mirrors in automobiles. Also provided are improved variable reflectance mirrors, wherein transmittance of reflected light is varied by thermochromic, photochromic or electro-optic means and wherein the reduction in transmittance which is required to eliminate perceptible reflection of an object to the eyes of an observer is reduced by disposing the plane of the highly reflective surface of the mirror at an angle with respect to the plane of the surface through which light from the object enters the mirror.
