Spectroelectrochemical analysis of a N-aryl-D2-pyrazoline derivative
Summary
By combining the information from electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques, UV/VIS spectroelectrochemistry (UV/VIS-SEC) allows a comprehensive analysis of electron-transfer processes and complex redox reactions. The anodic oxidation of a N-aryl-D2-pyrazoline derivative was investigated by combining cyclic voltammetry and UV/VIS spectroscopy. In-situ measured UV/VIS absorbance depicted the absorption changes that accompanied the anodic oxidation and could therewith prove the stability of the electrogenerated radical cation.
UV/VIS-SEC provides a powerful tool for the in situ study of shorter-lived species, reaction mechanims, and kinetics in a wide variety of electrochemical active organic, inorganic, and biological molecules.
