THE PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION OF PYRENE IN ACETONITRILE SOLUTION

The reduction of pyrene (Py) at a mercury channel electrode is studied in acetonitrile solution, both in the dark and under conditions where the pyrene radical anion (Py-.) is photoexcited, using a wavelength of 501.7 nm. In the dark a reversible one-electron process occurs forming the radical anion...
