Abstract
The influence of ionic strength on the current-potential responses for the electrochemical reduction of a series of nitrobenzenes (nitrobenzene, nitrotoluene, bromonitrobenzenes) in aprotic solvents has been investigated using microelectrodes. It is confirmed that it is possible to obtain reproducible data for solutions with a low ionic strength including media without the deliberate addition of electrolyte. However, their interpretation requires a consideration of the influences of ionic strength on the stability and chemistry of intermediates in addition to mass transport and ohmic drop. The results imply that the interaction between the anion radicals and the tetraalkylammonium cations is always weak but the cations interact strongly with more reduced intermediates.
