Abstract

The reduction of 3-bromopyrene in DMF at a mercury electrode for scan rates lower than 0.1 V s-1 is accompanied by a slow adsorption of an intermediate, resulting in a catalytic behaviour. The current oscillations take place in a region of the negative faradaic impedance.

Keywords: Electroreduction; 3-Bromopyrene; Current oscillations.
