Abstract
Interactions of RuCl3·3H2O with radical cations of aromatic ethers, 1,4-di-tert-butyl- 2,5-dimethoxybenzene, 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzene and 2-tert-butyl-1,4-di- methoxybenzene, and with aromatic amines, 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylaniline and N,N,N',N'-tetra- methyl-1,4-phenylenediamine, were observed by voltammetry. ESR and UV spectroscopies were used for the study of the the first two ethers. The effect of RuCl3·3H2O was also examined by controlled potential electrolysis.
