✦ Synopsis
In the last decade several papers were published on the polarographic investigations of ion-pair formation in free radical anion metal cation systems. Polarographic studies of ion association were described with radical anions of quinones 1 3 nitrocompounds 4 6, benzaldehydes6 ketonesV-9 and azocompounds 1 o. The subsequent reactions of the ion pairs of some ketyls have been successfully investigated by Lasia 11.
Cyclic voltammetric and polarographic studies of ion pairs (quinone) T ... Me "+ type (Me "+ is the supporting electrolyte cation) in five formally aprotic solvents are reported in the present paper. In the absence of proton donors quinones reduce polarographically in two one-electron steps at different potentials (see e. 9. ref. 12 and references therein). The first step corresponds to the formation of the semiquinone radical anion Q+e,
