Abstract: Facilitated proton transfer across the water/1,2 dichloroethane(DCE) interface supported on the tips of micro and nano pipets by o phenanthroline(Phen) was studied by using cyclic voltammetry. The formed micro and nano liquid/liquid interfaces functioned as micro and nano electrodes under certain experimental conditions. The dependence of the half wave potentials on the aqueous solutions acidities was studied and the ratio of association constants between Phen and proton in the aqueous and DCEphases was calculated by the method proposed by Matsuda et al.. The standard rate constant(k0) and the transfer coefficient(α) evaluated by using nano pipets were equal to 0183±0054 cm/s and 070±009, respectively.
