N2 - The electrode reaction of ruthenium 2,2'-bipyridine complexes has been investigated in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIBF4) ionic liquid. The diffusion of the ruthenium complexes in EMIBF4 was slower than that we have reported in EMITFSA (TFSA- = bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide), of which the viscosity (36 mPa s) is close to that of EMIBF4 (37 mPa s). The rate constant of the ruthenium redox couple in EMIBF4 was also smaller than that in EMITFSA. It was suggested that the difference in these kinetic parameters in EMIBF4 and EMITFSA is ascribed to the coulombic interaction between the positively charged species and the anions of ionic liquids.
