Abstract:
Cyclic voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical evidence is presented showing that the H-bonded dimer formed from a ureidopyrimidone derivative containing a phenylenediamine redox couple can be reversibly broken apart at mM concentrations in CH2Cl2 by an electrochemically induced proton-coupled electron transfer reaction.
