Electrochemical study of dibenzo(c,e)-1,2-dithiin in acetonitrile medium
Résumé
The electrochemical properties of dibenzo(c,e)-1,2-dithiin in acetonitrile solution are investigated by voltammetry at rotating platinum and vitrous carbon disk electrodes, and by cyclic voltammetry and constant potential coulometry. Attention is particularly devoted to the first charge transfer step and the subsequent chemical reactions. Evidence for an ECE process is given. Comparison of the chemical and electrochemical oxidation of dibenzo(c,e)-1,2-dithiin and related open-chain compounds is discussed.
