The estimation of the driving force for photoinduced charge-transfer processes, using the Rehm-Weller equation, requires the employment of redox and spectroscopic quantities describing the participating electron donor and acceptor. Although the spectroscopic data are usually obtained from diluted solutions, the redox potentials are most frequently obtained from electrochemical measurements conducted in concentrated electrolyte solutions. To correct for the differences in the media, in which the various types of measurements are conducted, a term, based on the Born equation for solvation energy of ions, is introduced in the Rehm-Weller equation, The Born correction term, however, requires a prior knowledge of the dielectric constants of the electrolyte solutions used for the redox measurements. Because of limited information for such dielectrics, the values for the dielectric constants of electrolyte solutions are approximated to the values of the dielectric constants of the corresponding neat solvents. We examined the validity of this approximation. Using cyclic voltammetry, we recorded the first one-electron oxidation potential of ferrocene for three different solvents in the presence of 1-500 mM supporting electrolyte. The dielectric constants for some of the electrolyte solutions were extracted from fluorescence measurements of a dimethylaminonaphthalimide chromophore that exhibits pronounced solvatochromism. The dielectric constants of the concentrated electrolyte solutions correlated well with the corresponding oxidation potentials. The dependence of the oxidation potential of ferrocene on the electrolyte concentration for different solvents revealed that the abovementioned approximation in the Born correction term indeed introduces a significant error in the estimation of the charge-transfer driving force from redox data collected using relatively nonpolar solvents.
