Design of Novel Catalysts Based on Acridine Derivatives Immobilized on Carbon Materials for Molecular Hydrogen Production.

Immobilization of acridine and its derivatives (9-phenylacridine and N-methyl-9-phenylacridinium iodide) has been studied and quantitative data on physical adsorption have been obtained. The adsorption equilibrium constants K, the parameters A∞ and ΔGads have been calculated from the Langmuir adsorption isotherms. The electrochemical properties of organic compounds immobilized on a carbon material surface have been studied by means of cyclic voltammetry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
