Epcx = cathodic peak potential, Epcy = anodic peak potential, and Eo′ = standard reduction potential.
Rows containing nonbold values are original data (V vs Ag/AgCl) and rows containing bold values are V vs standard hydrogen electrode (SHE).
For calculation, V vs SHE = V vs Ag/AgCl + 0.210 V.45
Eo′ was calculated only at pHs 3.5 and 4.0 because these had |Ipa4/Ipc3| ≈ 1.0 (see Table S1) for data.
