Abstract

Biological electron transfer processes are usually facile, since the agents are capable of adopting appropriate redox potential values, modulated and tuned by the immediate environment. To mimic this in the laboratory one needs a chemical agent whose redox potential is completely tunable with minimum alteration of the nature and environment of the species. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight how the electrochemistry of the polyanions can be exploited in this direction. Though the possibilities are many, this presentation considers only a selected simple reactions and devices to highlight the point that the electrochemistry of poly anions can be made use of to understand some of the biological electrochemical transformations.
