The electroreduction of picric acid and tetramethylammonium picrate in acetonitrile, acetone, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and hexamethylphosphoramide has been studied by normal pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and by coulometric analysis. The reduction of undissociated acid starts in all aprotic media with consumption of one electron. The reduction potential is shifted to more negative potentials with rising basicity of the solvent, i.e. with rising dissociation constant of picric acid. The formation of anion radicals is followed by the sequence of acido-basic selfprotonation reactions as well as by the disproportionation leading to a nitroso intermediate. The reduction mechanism does not change by addition of proton acceptor (basic alumina) or by amfiprotic species (anthranilic acid). In the presence of a strong acid, picric acid can mediate the electroreduction of added protons. Proposed mechanisms were supported by comparison with electrochemical behaviour of related nitrophenols in the same aprotic media.

3-Pyridyl-N,N-bis[(8-quinolyl)amino]methane was studied by DC polarography, coulometry, cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse polarography in a system comprising Britton-Robinson buffer and 15 vol.% ethanol at pH 7.0. The nature of the waves was investigated, and the reduction mechanism is suggested. DPP was also used for a quantitative determination of the substance, and a limit of detection of 3 μmol l-1 was obtained.

DC polarography, TAST polarography, differential pulse polarography, polarography with superimposed alternating current, slow cyclic voltammetry with a hanging Hg drop electrode and a Pt electrode, rapid cyclic voltammetry with a hanging Hg drop, and coulometry were used to study the electrochemical reduction of p-methoxy- and p-nitrobenzenediazonium cations in aprotic medium. A reduction mechanism involving two separate one-electron steps is proposed, the first of which being complicated by adsorption and follow-up chemical reaction leading to evolution of nitrogen. The basicity of the aprotic solvents, expressed by donor numbers according to Gutman, influences the reduction mechanism of these cations.

The polarographic reduction of N,N-dimethyl-4-amino-4'-hydroxyazobenzene in water-methanol medium was investigated. Evidence is presented for adsorption of the depolarizer on the electrode, and a reduction mechanism is proposed. Conditions are indicated for the determination of this compound in the concentration range 10-4-10-6 mol/l by d.c. polarography, 10-5 to 3 . 10-7 mol/l by Tast polarography, and 10-5-3 . 10-8 mol/l by differential pulse polarography.

Experimental results from electrochemical behaviour of halobenzenes in DMF at a mercury cathode are used to discuss alternative mechanisms of reduction. Intermediates of these mechanisms, such as phenyl anion, phenylmercury radical and phenylmercury cation have been detected at the electrode by using cyclic voltammetry and a rotating ring-disk electrode.

Octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane (AF4) has been oxidized by treatment with HIO3 in CF3CO2H to form the corresponding p-quinone along with a unique triketone. This quinone undergoes reduction to the respective hydroquinone as well as a Diels-Alder reaction with 1,3-cyclohexadiene. Its reduction potential was obtained by cyclic voltammetry and is discussed in the context of other quinones.

The polycrystalline Ni–Mo–La composite coating was obtained by electrodeposition through the addition of La3+ ions into Ni, Mo ions main salt weak alkaline solution. The obtained composite contain 0.92 at.% La. According to the law of ionic activity, the redox reaction of three kinds of metal atoms was studied by polarography and cyclic voltammetry. It was found that the addition of lanthanum ions changed the composite structural, phase, and element, and the OH− ions were deduced during the electrodeposition in alkaline solution. The introduction of lanthanum and molybdenum ions negatively shifted the reduction potential of nickel ions and broadened the peaks significantly in the deposition process, retarding the reduction and deposition rate of Ni ions, which was characterized by a multi-step reduction process of Mo and La metal atoms.
