| Abstract
| - The electron self-exchange rate constants for the (trimethylammonio)methylferrocene(+/2+) couple(FcTMA+/2+) have been measured in the absence and presence of the cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) host moleculein aqueous solution, using 1H NMR line-broadening experiments. The very strong binding of the ferroceneto CB[7] results in slow exchange of the guest on the NMR time scale, such that resonances for both the freeand bound forms of the reduced ferrocene can be observed. The extents of line broadening in the resonancesof the two forms of the guest in the presence of the FcTMA2+ species can be monitored independently,allowing for the determination of the rate constants for the possible self-exchange pathways involving thebound and free forms of both the oxidized and reduced members of the redox couple. The encapsulation ofboth the reduced and oxidized forms of the ferrocene increases the rate constant (25 °C) from (2.1 ± 0.1) ×106 M-1 s-1 (for FcTMA+/2+) to (6.7 ± 0.7) × 106 M-1 s-1 (for {FcTMA·CB[7]}+/2+), whereas inclusion ofthe reduced form only decreases the rate constant to (6 ± 1) × 105 M-1 s-1. The changes in the exchangerate constants upon inclusion of the reactants are related to the effects of CB[7] acting as an outer, second-coordination sphere and are compared to those observed previously for the electron-exchange process in thepresence of β-cyclodextrin and p-sulfonated calix[6]arene hosts. The binding of FcTMA+ and hydroxymethylferrocene to CB[7] significantly reduces the rate constants for their oxidations by the bis(2,6-pyridinedicarboxylato)cobaltate(III) ion (which does not bind to CB[7]) as a result of reduced thermodynamicdriving forces and steric hindrance to close approach of the oxidant to the encapsulated ferrocenes.
