Electrochemical Properties of N-Methyl- and N-Phenyl-2,4,6-Triphenylpyridium Perchlorate

The electrochemical properties of N-methyl- and N-phenyl-2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium perchlorates were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The substituent at the nitrogen atom strongly affects the potentials of salt reduction and the electrochemical reversibility of the transfer of the second electron.
