The cyclic voltammetric study of cadmium(II) -aspartic acid system at pH 8 was undertaken.rnThrough a series of diagnostic criteria, it was shown that the cadmium(II)-aspartic acid system atrnpH 8 underwent a CE (chemical reaction preceding an electron transfer) mechanism. Attemptrnwas made to extract the kinetics of the homogeneous chemical reaction by using theoreticalrnworking curves drawn for such purpose and available in the literature.rnKey words: cyclic voltammetry (CV), CE mechanism, aspartic acid.
