Electrochemical properties of charge transfer complexes of 4,4'-bipyridine with benzoquinone derivatives

Abstract

The electrochemical characteristics of charge transfer complex of 4,4'-bipyridine with benzoquinone derivative have been investigated using cyclic voltammetry, convolutive voltammetry and digital simulation methods. Cyclic voltammetry experiments were performed at a platinum working electrode. The electrode reaction pathway, the relevant chemical and electrochemical parameters of the investigated complex were determined using cyclic voltammetry, convolution - deconvolution transforms. The extracted electrochemical parameters and the nature of the electrode reaction were verified & confirmed via digital simulation method. © 2014 J. New Mat. Electrochem. Systems.
