Cyclic voltammetry has been used to measure formal potentials of seven aromatic ketone/ketyl radical anion systems in benzonitrile, acetonitrile , propylene carbonate, acetone, N,N- dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one, dimethyl sulfoxide and hexamethylphosphoric triamide. The values measured in each solvent obey the Hammett- Streitwieser equation; the reaction constants were found to depend on the solvent acidity and basicity expressed by acceptor and donor numbers, respectively. The results are discussed in terms of the solvation of the products and reactants of the electrode reaction.

Potentiometric titration has been used to measure dissociation constants of 13 monosubstituted benzoic acids in nitromethane, benzonitrile , acetonitrile , propylene carbonate, acetone, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol and formamide. The reaction constants of the Hammett equation were found to depend on the solvent acidity and basicity expressed by the α and β parameters of Kamlet and Taft. The p values determined earlier in water and ethanol also obey this rule.

The electrochemical properties of 4-[(anthracen -9-ylmethylene)-amino]-1, 5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one have been carried out using cyclic voltammetry and convolution - deconvolution voltammetry combined with digital simulation technique at a platinum electrode in 0.1 mol/L tetraethyl ammonium chloride (TEACl) in solvent acetonitrile (CH3CN). In switching the potential to positive scan, the compound was oxidized by loss of one electron forming radical cataion followed by fast chemical step and the radical cation loss another two electrons producing trication which followed by chemical reaction (ECEEC). The investigated compound was reduced via consumption of two consecutive electrons to form radical anion followed by fast chemical step and the radical anion gain another electron to form dianion followed by chemical step (ECEC mechanism). The electrode reaction pathway and the chemical and electrochemical parameters of the investigated compound were determined using cyclic voltammetry, convolutive voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The Electrochemical data such as a, ks, Eo , D, and kc of the investigated pyrazole derivative were evaluated expeimentally and verified via digital simulation technique Electrochemical behaviour of the pyrazole compound under consideration was presented and discussed.

A preparative method of synthesis of the new methyl 3-iodo-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate was elaborated. Electrochemical behavior of methyl 3-chloro-, bromo- and iodo-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylates 1-3, and of their reduction and dimer products 4, 5 in anhydrous dimethylformamide has been investigated at mercury and platinum electrodes using polarography, cyclic voltammetry and voltammetry on a rotating platinum disk electrode. The reduction in divided cells follows the ECE mechanism (electron - chemical step - electron), where the primary radical anion is split into a halide anion and neutral heterocyclic radical, which is immediately reduced by the second electron and protonated. The only reduction product is the methyl 1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate (5); whereas the EDim mechanism (electron - dimer formation) leading to the dimeric species 4 was not observed under the above conditions. Reduction of 1-3 on platinum causes formation of a blocking film on the electrode. Sonication during electrolysis successfully reactivates the electrode.

The standard electron-transfer heterogeneous rate constant of lithium, potassium, sodium and caesium amalgams in N,N-dimethylformamide was ascertained employing cyclic voltammetry in an effort to relate the presence of a non-equilibrium electrode reaction at the dropping lithium amalgam electrode to the variation of the lithium amalgam electrode potential with amalgam electrode con- figuration, i.e. whether streaming, dropping or stationary. Such variations are not observed at other alkali metal amalgam electrodes. ��� In the dipolar aprotic solvents the standard electron-transfer heterogeneous rate constant for the Li(Hg) electrode increases as the solvating power for Li+ decreases, i.e. dimethyl sulphoxide < di- methylformamide < propylene carbonate. Water is a much stronger solvator of Li+ than is propylene carbonate, but the electron transfer is faster in water than in propylene carbonate; the important role of entropic contributions in ion solvation is discussed as an explanation.
