Abstract
A study of the electrochemical reduction behavior of safranine T by means of electrochemical methods coupled with ESR (electron spin resonance) is presented. Through an "in situ" tracing of the 1-electron reduction intermediate—free radical, the structure of the free radical has been deduced. During the electrochemical reduction the free radical went through a post-electrolysis chemical decay including parallel steps of zero and first order reactions. This fact gives further support and experimental ascertainment of the viewpoint that some electrode processes are clearly related to the enzymatic catalyses~([1]). In accordance with the chemical behavior of safranine T free radicals at various concentrations and at different potentials the authors have advanced a scheme of reaction mechanism and evaluated the kinetic parameters of the reation steps by simulating the experimental curves.
