Abstract

The usual, formal definition of u, the transfer coefficient
of an electrode reaction, is satisfactory for the unambigous description
of an experiment. More detailed knowledge of the
mechanism of an electrode reaction requires distinction between
the intrinsic (or true), u1 and the environmental, uE, part of the
overall coeficient u. The suggestion is made to use the symbol ~
for the cathodic transfer coefficient of an elementary step. Caution
is suggested in giving more than arbitrary significance to these
distinctions which have to be discussed in terms of the model
adopted for a particular system.
