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
