Application of the Dual Parameter Equation to the Correlation Analysis of the Redox Potential Data of Five para-Substituted Phenyl Compounds

Abstract

Dual-parameter correlation analysis of the redox potential data of five aromatic compounds shows that the transition states of the polarographic processes are affected by the spin-delocalization effect in addition to the polar effect of the substituents.
