염기성용액 중의 수은전극에서 o-Cresolphthalexon의 전기화학적 연구

The reduction mechanism at a mercury electrode of o-cresolphthalexon(OCP) in strongly alkaline supporting electrolytes has been investigated by several electrochemical techniques. The radical formed after first one electron reduction uptake, dimerizes. The result of cyclic voltammetric investigation demonstrated the reversible nature of the electron transfer and standard rate constant was $3.27{\times}10^{-2}$ cm/sec. The apparent irreversible behavior of the second wave is a result of the existence of a fast protonation following the second electron transfer. At low concentration of OCP(< $1{\times}10^{-4}$M), cathodic current were remarkably adsorptive properties. Prolonged electrolysis was carried out at controlled potential of -1.85V, original violet color of the solution becames progressively weaker, and then colorless solution. The final product of an exhaustive electrolysis is electro-inactive. The appearence of four steps may be explained by the fact that the reduction of OCP elucidated ECEC mechanism. 염기성용액 중의 수은전극에서 o-cresolphthalexon(OCP)의 전기화학적 거동을 직류, 펄스차이 폴라로그래피, 정전위 전해 및 순환 전압전류법으로 조사하였다. OCP는 NaCl 지지전해질에서 1전자 2단계 환원반응을 하였으며, 반파전위는 pH에 따라 변화하였다. 순환 전압전류법에 따라 고찰한 결과 첫번째 1전자 환원반응을 뒤에 형성된 라디칼은 이합체화 반응을 하였으며, 표준 속도상수는 $3.27{\times}10^{-2}$ cm/sec로 가역반응을 나타냈다. 두번째 환원반응은 전자전이반응에 이어 생성된 carbanion의 빠른 양성자화 첨가반응으로 비가역적 거동을 나타냈다. OCP의 농도(
