TL;DR
Permeability of ferrocene derivatives through a planer bilayer lipid membrane was examined by an electrochemical method using microelectrodes to detect electroactive substances permeating the membrane without unstirred layer perturbation.
Abstract
Permeability of ferrocene derivatives through a planer bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) was examined by an electrochemical method using microelectrodes. Location of the microelectrode tip inside the unstirred layer enables the detection of electroactive substances permeating the membrane without unstirred layer perturbation.

The Journal of Membrane BiologyPermeability of small nonelectrolytes through lipid bilayer membranes
505 Citations1986Anne Walter, John Gutknecht
Diffusion of small nonelectrolytes through planar lipid bilayer membranes was examined by correlating the permeability coefficients of 22 solutes with their partition coefficients between water and four organic solvents, and the molecular volume dependence of solute permeability suggests that the membrane barrier behaves more like a polymer than a liquid hydrocarbon.

The exceptionally high permeability of formic acid and the high correlation of the other permeabilities to the hexadecane/water partition coefficient is a pattern that conforms with other nonelectrolyte permeabilities through bilayers, similar to other homologous solutes in other membrane systems.

187 Citations1969Paul Müeller, Donald O. Rudin
This chapter explains translocators in bimolecular lipid membranes: their role in dissipative and conservative bioenergy transductions, which is consistent with and relies heavily on findings in the ancillary fields of monolayer and surface chemistry.
The Journal of Membrane BiologyThe permeability of liposomes to nonelectrolytes
142 Citations1975Benjamin E. Cohen
The available evidence suggests that there is a similar correlation to that found in liposomes in the activation energies for permeation of nonelectrolytes across biological membranes to their hydrogen-bonding capacity.

130 Citations1981John Gutknecht, Anne Walter
The results suggest that of the two principal components of 'acid rain', HNO3 may be more toxic than H2SO4 and consistent with the hypothesis that F- transport through biological membranes occurs mainly by nonionic diffusion of HF.
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - BiomembranesTransport of protons and hydrochloric acid through lipid bilayer membranes
104 Citations1981John Gutknecht, Anne Walter
Transport of protons and hydrochloric acid through lipid bilayer membranes was studied by a combination of electrical conductance and pH electrode techniques and it was found that at neutral pH the diffusion of molecular HCl is too slow to contribute significantly to net movements of H+ or Cl-.
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - BiomembranesThe permeation of organic acids through lecithin bilayers Resemblance to diffusion in polymers
63 Citations1975J. Mario Wolosin, Hagai Ginsburg
Analysis of the experimental results showed that decane and olive oil are not adequate model solvents for planar lecithin membranes but ether and octanol are good models, and the differential mass selectivity coefficient was found to be similar to that for soft polymers and biological membranes.
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - BiomembranesSCN− and HSCN transport through lipid bilayer membranes
38 Citations1982John Gutknecht, Anne Walter
The results suggest that SCN- acts by combining with H+ in the mucosal unstirred layer (secretory pits) and diffusing back into the cells as HSCN, thus dissipating the proton gradient across the secretory membrane.
