Preferred Label : electroactive substance;
IUPAC definition : In voltammetry and related techniques, a substance that undergoes a change of oxidation
state, or the breaking or formation of chemical bonds, in a charge-transfer step.
If an electroactive substance strong B /strong is formed, in the solution or electrode,
by a chemical reaction from another substance strong C /strong , the substance strong
C /strong should be called the precursor of strong B /strong . In potentiometry
with ion-selective electrodes, a material containing, or in ion-exchange equilibrium
with, the sensed ion. The electroactive substance is often incorporated in an inert
matrix such as poly(vinyl chloride) or silicone rubber.;
