Rotating disk electrode voltammetry was applied to study the reduction mechanism of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (1) in water–ethanol alkaline solutions by using a mercury-plated platinum rotating disk electrode. In the logarithmic analysis of the wave, the plots of log [i2⁄3/(id–i)] vs. E showed good linearity, and the shifts of the half-wave potential with an increase in the rotation speed of the electrode (ω) and in the initial concentration of 1 (C) were ∂E1⁄2⁄∂logω=−22±2 mV and ∂E1⁄2⁄∂logC=19±2 mV, respectively. On the other hand, no appreciable change in E1⁄2 was observed with varying alkalinities of the solutions. These results and the large shift of E1⁄2 with an increase in the concentration of water (∂E1⁄2⁄∂log[H2O]=ca. 50 mV) are explained in terms of the following reactions:R+e\ightleftarrowsR\ewdot (solvated by water), (1)2R\ewdot\oversetk→D2− (r.d.s.), (2)D2−+2H2O→DH2+2OH−, (3)where R and R\ewdot are the molecule and the radical of 1, respectively, D2− is the dimer of R\ewdot and DH2 is the hydro-dimer (2) of R. The rate of the dimerization reaction (k in Eq. 2) was estimated to be 2.5×104 M−1 s−1 from the shift of E1⁄2 with logω for the 50% water-ethanol solution containing 1 M NaOH, and this rate constant decreased with decreasing water concentration.
利用镀汞铂旋转盘电极,采用旋转盘电极伏安法研究了对二甲氨基苯甲醛(1)在水乙醇碱性溶液中的还原机理。在波的对数分析中,对数[i2⁄3/(id-i)]与E的关系图显示出良好的线性,半波电位随电极旋转速度(ω)和1的初始浓度(C)的增加而移动,分别为∂E1⁄2⁄∂ωlogC=-22±2 mV和∂E1⁄2⁄∂logC=19±2 mV。另一方面,随着溶液碱度的变化,E1⁄2 没有明显变化。这些结果以及 E1⁄2 随着水浓度的增加而发生的巨大变化(∂E1⁄2⁄∂log[H2O]=约 50 mV)可以用以下反应来解释:R+e(被水溶解),(1)2R\ewdot\oversetk→D2-(r.d.s.(2)D2-+2H2O→DH2+2OH-, (3)where R and R\ewdot are the molecule and the radical of 1, D2- is the dimer of R\ewdot and DH2 is the hydro-dimer (2) of R. The rate of the dimerization reaction (k in Eq. 2) was estimated to be 2.5 per cent.根据含有 1 M NaOH 的 50% 水-乙醇溶液中 E1⁄2 随 logω 的移动,估计二聚化反应的速率(式 2 中的 k)为 2.5×104 M-1 s-1,且该速率常数随水浓度的降低而减小。
