For 10 points, name these reactions characterizedby the transfer of electrons.
In supramolecular polymer chemistry, ferrocene and beta-cyclodextrin make a popular pair because of their responsivenessto these reactions. The mechanism of one type of these reactions is often studied in the Creutz-Taube complex. Viologens repeatedlyand reversibly change colors in these reactions. Depending on whether the participating species are covalently linkedor not, either the inner- or the outer-sphere reactions of this kind happen in transition metal complexes. The free energiesof species involved in these reactions are plotted in Frost diagrams, and a specifiÂc example of them drives the function of a"saturated calomel" device. The disappearance of iodine indicates the endpoint in a common titration of this type. Disproportionationis a subtype of reactions of this kind, whose simplest types involves a connecting salt-bridge and can be analyzedby writing two half-equations, representing what goes on at the anode and cathode.
