On February 28, 1995, Liang, Zhaoxi; Wang, Xiaoyun; Yi, He published an article.Electric Literature of 52243-87-5 The title of the article was Electroreduction kinetics of alkyl polyviologens studied by in situ spectroscopy. And the article contained the following:
The electroreduction kinetics of several alkyl polyviologens (I), such as polypropyl viologen, polybutyl viologen, polyhexyl viologen as well as their resp. low mol. analogs (II) and a bisviologen were studied by in situ spectroscopy. The reaction order (α) and rate constant (κ) of the 1st electroreduction were calculated The effect of alkyl chain length (n) is obvious for II, κ values decrease in the order: PrV>BV>HxV. κ Values of I are lower than those of II and depend slightly on n. These facts may be attributed to the diffusion-controlled nature of the electroreduction process. The influences of viologen concentration, the supporting electrolyte and the pH value also were studied. In general, the memory time of I is longer than those of II. The experimental process involved the reaction of 1,1′-Dipropyl-[4,4′-bipyridine]-1,1′-diium bromide(cas: 52243-87-5).Electric Literature of 52243-87-5
