When laser light impinges upon a liquid-liquid interface between an optically transparent aqueous and opaque organic phase from the aqueous to organic phase, the temperature at the interface and the interfacial region rises. Using this rise in temperature, we have proposed and developed thermal modulation voltammetry at an interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (TMV-ITIES) and have determined the standard entropy changes of ion transfer, ∆S ,O→W tr . In this work, we have determined ∆S ,O→W tr for four 1-alkylpridinium ions, namely 1-methylpyridinium ion (MePy + ), 1-ethylpyridinium ion (EtPy + ), 1-propylpyridinium ion (PrPy + ), and 1-buthylpyridinium ion (BuPy + ) by TMV-ITIES. As a result, we obtained the ∆S ,O→W tr values of 108.0 ± 0.5 (n = 3), 75.8 ± 4.4, 55.6 ± 1.2, and 42.7 ± 0.

A diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPSS, Phototechnica, JST, 532 nm, 30 mW) was used as a heating source. This laser beam was electronically modulated at 10 Hz by using a function synthesizer (NF, 1915), and was introduced from the aqueous to organic phase. The electrolytic cell was machined from poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene) resin blocks and composed of two compartments for the aqueous and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) phase. The cell was placed in a shield case in order to maintain the temperature and avoid electric noise. The two compartments were separated by a thin polyester film 16 μm thick with approximately 120 microholes 30 μm in diameter arranged as in Fig. 3. The microholes, bored into the film by an ultraviolet laser photoablation technique (Laserx Co., Ltd.), 6 were employed as micro-ITIESs. The film was tightly held between two silicon rubber sheets together with the two compartments with screws. As shown in Scheme 1, the aqueous phase contained 10 mmol dm -3 (mM) LiCl as a supporting electrolyte and X mmol dm -3 1-alkylpridinium ion as a sample, while the DCE phase contained 10 mmol dm -3 crystalviolet tetrakis(4-cholorophenyl)borate (CVTClPB), which served not only as a supporting electrolyte but also as an optically absorbing substance. A visible absorption spectrum of CVTClPB in DCE showed the absorption maximum at 591 nm and a molar absorption coefficient at 532 nm was 3.3 × 10 3 m 2 mol -1 . When the laser beam was modulated at 10 Hz, the temperature at the interface and interfacial region was also modulated, and consequently a current for ion transfer was modulated at the same frequency, depending on the standard entropy change of ion transfer and a temperature coefficient of a diffusion coefficient of a transferring ion. The modulated current was detected with a four-electrode type potentiostat (Hokuto Denko, HA1010mM1A) and amplified with a two-phase lock-in amplifier (NF, 5584A). The reference signal was supplied from the function synthesizer, which was used for driving the DPSS laser. The potential was swept at 5 mVs -1 with ...
