Abstract
The inhibition to ion transfer by a monolayer of phospholipid at an immiscible electrolyte interface has been studied using the tetraethylammonium ion as a probe. The decrease of the rate constant for ion transfer has been analysed considering the work of pore formation and the calculated pore size is in agreement with the known dimensions of the probe ion. The proposed model has been used to study the kinetics of assisted transfer of K+ with valinomycin as the ionophore.
