Abstract
The carbanions formed by monoprotonation of the dianions of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in formally aprotic solvents can be detected by rapid sweep cyclic voltammetry at a platinum electrode. Those derived from alternant hydrocarbons are oxidized at essentially one potential. Those derived from non-alternant hydrocarbons are oxidized less readily, and at differing potentials. Gas-phase ionization potentials of the anions and electron affinities of the corresponding cations are derived from the solution data.
