Results of electrochemical studies of aquapentaammineruthenium(II) over the pH range of 1-8.7 by cyclic and differential-pulse voltammetry are reported. In the 0- to 0.6-V region, the III/II redox couple is clearly visible irrespective of the type of electrode used. However, in the 0-1.5-V region two additional anodic waves were noted that are resolved only when an activated glassy-carbon electrode is used. This is taken to be evidence for the occurrence of IV/III couples. The noted pH dependence of the electrochemical process gives insite into the proton content of the Ru(III) and Ru(II) species.
