Convolutive Deconvolutive Voltammetry of Charge Transfer Complexes of 4,4’-Bipyridine With Benzoquinone Derivatives

Abstract

Convolutive, deconvolutive cyclic voltammetric, digital simulation, chrono- amperometric, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron micro- scopy (TEM) were used for clarifying the characterization of charge transfer complex (CT) of 4,4’-bipyridine with benzoquinone derivatives. These studies were achieved at a gold electrode in TBAPL/CH2Cl2. The kind of the electrode reaction and the kinetic parameters of the CT complex under study were calculated and explained via the above methods, then confirmed via digital simulation. SEM and TEM were performed for characterization of the structural morphology of the presented complex as well as showing the nanostructured of the complex.
