EPR spectra and structure of 1,2-dihydroxy- and 1,2,4-trihydroxy-anthrasemiquinones

Conclusions Radicals of hydroxyanthrasemiquinones were generated by chemical and electrochemical reduction and their probable structures established by EPR.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 822–827, April, 1986.     

Radical intermediates in the electrochemical reduction of alizarin

Conclusions In the electroreduction of alizarin in an aprotic medium the stepwise formation of the anion-radical and subsequently of the dianion has been observed; under conditions of the prolonged process the anion-radical disproportionates and through intermediate stages of deprotonation and reduction is converted into the stable dianion-radical.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 983–988, May, 1985.

Catalytic activity of palladium-containing zeolites in the complete oxidation of benzene

The dependence of palladium distribution in zeolites on the temperature of thermal treatment has been established from the data on oxygen chemisorption and the statistical processing of electron micrographs. The influence of palladium distribution in zeolites on their catalytic activity towards the complete oxidation of benzene has been shown.
