Transformations of dodecyl pyridinium bromide I. Reaction with cyanide ion

Construction of a microcomputer controlled near normal incidence reflectance spectroelectrochemical system and its performance evaluation

“…Further, we were able to record in situ spectra of the following intermediate species, i.e., BQH• and BQH", employing our spectrometer. The details of these observations and chemistries involved in BQ reduction are reported elsewhere (32) reduced chemically (33,34), photochemically (35)(36)(37), or electrochemically (38)(39)(40)(41)(42). When MV is electrochemically reduced, two reversible reduction reactions are observed MV2+ + e-= MV+-…”

Electrochemical formation of viologen nano/microsized wires and tubes by potential sweep technique combined with micellar disruption method

“…As the viologen compound, 1,1 -didodecyl-4,4 -bipyridinium (DDV 2+ ) dibromide [31][32][33] was employed. The DDV 2+ was prepared by refluxing a dimethylformamide solution containing 4,4 -bipyridine and n-dodecylbromide (1:6 mol ratio) for 6.5 h. The product was filtered after cooling and washed with acetone.…”

Quaternary Pyridinium Compounds

“…It has been suggested that this difference in reactivity may be due to micelle formation in the case of the dodecyl derivative, which is known to occur in the concentrations used in these studies (206). It has been suggested that this difference in reactivity may be due to micelle formation in the case of the dodecyl derivative, which is known to occur in the concentrations used in these studies (206).…”

“…Dodecylpyridinium bromide forms the viologen cation radical 111-168 directly when treated with aqueous sodium cyanide at room temperature, possibly due to micelle formation (206) …”
