Cyclic voltammetric studies. II. Substituted anilines in acetonitrile

Abstract

Results of single sweep triangular wave cyclic voltammetric studies on some substituted anilines in acetonitrile are reported. It has been found that, while the first reduction steps of nitroanilines are reversible that of chloroaniline is irreversible. The second reduction steps were found to be irreversible and the overall picture emerged of a multistep process involving reversible charge-transfer steps followed by an irreversible chemical reaction.
