Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of substituted 1-phenylselanyl azulenes has been established by cyclic, differential pulse, and rotating disk electrode voltammetric methods. The redox potentials and the number of electrons exchanged in the main redox processes have been examined in connection with the electronic effects of their substituents. Controlled potential electrolyses have been performed in order to point out the products associated to the redox peaks. A mechanism to explain the redox processes has been proposed.
