ELECTROCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF ELECTRON-TRANSFER PHENOMENA IN THE SERIES OF PHENOTHIAZINE AND OF RELATED COMPOUNDS II.Reductive electrocatalysis of the -CH=N- and formyl group on the phenothiazine ring

摘要

The redox properties of the phenothiazine heterocycle were thoroughly studied and its donor capacity was proved by chemical and electrochemical means [1,2].However,much remains to be done in order to establish the influence exerted by functional groups on the redox behaviour of phenothiazine nucleus.
