Abstract
The methyl viologen film evaporated at about 250 °C has a violet color, and its electronic absorption spectrum resembles that of the enzymatically reduced methyl viologen. The evaporated film becomes colorless upon the introduction of air. By means of the photoemission spectroscopical method, a very low ionization potential, 3.6 eV, was obtained for the evaporated methyl viologen film. The character of the evaporated methyl viologen is a free-radical one, and its specific resistivity is very low as compared with other organic radicals.Keywords
