Relatively stable radical cations of 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) were formed by controlled potential electrolysis of solutions in acetonitrile. The rates of decay of the ions were measured in the absence and presence of substituted styrenes, including α-methylstyrene, trans-β-methylstyrene, p-methylstyrene, and styrene. In rigorously dried solvent the radical cation was relatively stable, and its rate of decay was independent of its initial concentration. In the presence of monomers the rates of decay were increased greatly and were related to the position of the methyl substituent in the styrene structure.The rate was proportional to [Formula: see text] A mechanism is suggested and interpreted to show that the rates of cation decay are indicative of the rates of propagation in the polymerization process.

Oxidative fusion of a meso-phenoxazino Ni(ii) porphyrin at high temperature gave a doubly phenoxazine-fused porphyrin as a highly planar diarylamine-fused porphyrin. One-electron oxidation of the corresponding β,β-dichlorinated compound gave a remarkably stable radical cation.

Interactions of RuCl3·3H2O with radical cations of aromatic ethers, 1,4-di-tert-butyl- 2,5-dimethoxybenzene, 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzene and 2-tert-butyl-1,4-di- methoxybenzene, and with aromatic amines, 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylaniline and N,N,N',N'-tetra- methyl-1,4-phenylenediamine, were observed by voltammetry. ESR and UV spectroscopies were used for the study of the the first two ethers. The effect of RuCl3·3H2O was also examined by controlled potential electrolysis.

The polarographic behaviour of a series of arylazotheophyllines was studied in aqueous alcoholic buffer media and in DMF-0.1 M LiClO4 solution. The redox study gave evidence that the azo group is electroactive in aqueous as well as non-aqueous media. A mechanism interpreting the electrode process is proposed and confirmed through the identification of the controlled potential electrolysis products, the use of a model compound and the application of Hamett's σ-E relationship. The physico-chemical characteristics of these compounds, viz. the diffusion coefficient, dissociation constant, ionization potential and electron affinity, are also included.

Experimental conditions are reported for resolving the hyperfine splitting of e.p.r. spectra obtained from the interaction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with platinum oxide. By contrast with earlier interpretations where only a singlet was obtained even with perylene, the present results indicate that the adsorbed species are radical cations.

The electrochemical behaviour of N′-(p-toluenesulphonyl)-3-methyl-4-(4′-substituted arylhydrazono) pyrazolin-5-ones has been investigated at dme and gc electrodes in buffer solutions of pH 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 and 10.0 using dc polarography and cyclic voltammetry and coulometry. The compounds exhibit one well defined wave in the entire pH range of study. The process is irreversible and diffusion controlled. Controlled potential electrolysis indicates the involvement of four electrons in the reduction process. The effect of solvent, cations and anions, temperature and substitutents on the mechanism of reduction has been studied. Based on the results obtained the mechanism of reduction has been suggested.
