Abstract:

The redox behaviour of azobenzene compounds with donor-acceptor——p-nitro-p-N,p-dimethylazobenzene and p-nitro-p-hydroxylazobenzene was investigated by electrochemical method, and the mechanism of the electrode reaction was studied in detail. The results indicate that the oxidation of donor is related to the reduation of acceptor, and both compounds have the property of redox switch to some extent.
