Abstract
The radical anions formed in the first stage of electrolytic reduction of 9-nitroanthracene, 1-nitronaphthalene, and nitrobenzene enter into a secondorder reaction in which the value of the rate constant increases as the degree of localization of the unpaired electron on the reaction site increases.
