The electrochemical reduction of 1,4-benzoquinone in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane-sulfonyl)-imide, [C(2)mim][NTf2]: A voltammetric study of the comproportionation between benzoquinone and the benzoquinone dianion
The two-step electrochemical reduction of 1,4-benzoquinone, BQ, was investigated on a microdisk electrode (10 μm diameter Au) in the room temperature ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane- sulfonyl)-imide, [C2mim][NTf2], over a wide range of scan-rates. Two reduction peaks we...
