Abstract: The electrochemical behavior of Mn(III)/Mn(II) on platinum electrode in acetic acid-anhydride was investigated. The results show that the conditional electrode potential of Mn(III)/Mn(II) was 0.719 V(vs SCE) in the solution of 1.5 mol•L－1 KOAc＋HOAc-Ac2O(3:1 volume ratio) at 25 ℃. The results of potential sweep and RDE on platinum electrode show that the rate determing step of the electrode processes for Mn(II) anodic oxidation was a charge-transfer step. The anodic charge-transfer kinetic parameters were determined. The results show that the anodic charge-transfer coefficient is 0.347, the exchange current density i0 is 5.84×10－6 A•cm－2, the conditional charge-transfer rate constant ka is 1.35×10－8 m•s－1 at 25 ℃. The rate was found to be first order with respect to the concentration of both Mn(II) and OAc－.
