Abstract
Carbon-paste electrodes were prepared with use of ubiquinone-10 dissolved in organic liquids, 1-chloronaphthalene, 1-bromonaphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene and undecane. Ubiquinone-10 shows a well-defined, pH-dependent cathodic reduction wave in each liquid system and its reduction seems to proceed with two electrons and a proton transfer around neutral pH. The experimental results indicate the wave to be diffusion-controlled, and the apparent diffusion coefficient was additionally calculated in each liquid system.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
