Abstract
Cyclic voltammetric studies on the reduction of di-t-butylperoxide (t-BuOOBu-t) and t.butylhydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) have been carried out in three dipolar aprotic solvents, namely, dimethyl formamide (DMF), dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and acetonitrile (AN), at a glassy carbon (gc) electrode. A single irreversible peak corresponding to a two-electron reduction of these peroxides to the corresponding alkoxides, is observed in each of the three solvents. The values of voltammetric peak potentials are compared in the three solvents. The reduction is observed to be diffusion limited for lower concentrations and adsorption limited at higher concentrations of the peroxide. Cyclic voltammetry is found useful for quantitative estimation of these peroxides with ± 1% accuracy, upto 10-4 M concentration.
