Abstract
The oxidation half-wave potentials of fifty-three organic compounds were determined in acetonitrile at a rotating Pt electrode. These values are correlated with ionization potentials, with interaction energies of charge- transfer complexes with trinitrofluorenone, with Huckel coefficients of the resonance integral in the expression for the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level, and with pabsorption band spectra. The correlations yield linear relations for alternate hydrocarbons. On the basis of these correlations, the values of the oxidation half-wave potentials are applied to calculate ionization potentials for aromatic hydrocarbons and to verify the values of molecular orbital calculations.
