Voltammetric oxidation of anthraquinones in acetonitrile and nitromethane.
The voltammetric oxidation of seven anthraquinones to the singly-charged radical cations has been investigated in acetonitrile and nitromethane. The voltammetric waves can be used for the quantitative determination of anthraquinones. Benzoquinones, naphthaquinones and phenanthraquinones are not oxidized in these solvents.
