Abstract: | The electrochemical reduction of lucigenin (bis-N-methylacridinium nitrate) in aqueous solution was studied by normal pulse polarography, normal pulse polarography with differential detection of the current, and differential pulse polarography with cathodic and anodic pulses at several pulse amplitudes. The effects of pH and lucigenin concentration were studied. In confirmation of an earlier d.c. polarographic study, lucigenin is shown to be reduced in two separate one-electron steps. An adsorption peak accompanies the first step, while the second, below pH 3.5, is catalytic owing to chemical regeneration of the intermediate reduction product at the electrode surface. |
