Abstract
The oxidation of bis(benzylidene)acenaphthene in acetonitrile solution at platinum electrodes irradiated with light (377 nm) has been investigated using a combination of channel electrode and spectrofluorimetric voltammetries. The efficient formation of the highly fluorescent molecule 7-phenylbenzo[k]fluoranthene was demonstrated and the electrode reaction mechanism characterised as of the ‘photo-CE’ type. Kinetic parameters relating to this process are reported.Keywords
