Abstract

Reduction of 3-cyanopyridinium salts has been studied on the mercury dropping electrode. Solvent and substituent effects and pH of the medium have been shown to modify in a certain extent differently the polarographic characteristics as compared with analogous 3-carbamoyl derivatives, which is due to higher electronegativity of the studied cations.
