Electrochemical studies of N,N-bis pyrazinyl 3,4,9,10 - perylenebis (dicarboximide) (PyPD ) on Pt electrode

The electrochemical studies of N, N – bis(pyrazinyl) – 3, 4, 9, 10 – perylene bis (dicarboximide) (PyPD) dye has been carried out on Pt electrode using cyclic voltammetry and convolution deconvolution voltammetry combined with digital simulation technique at a platinum electrode in 0.1 mol L-1 tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) in acetonitrile solvent (CH3CN). The compound under consideration was reduced via consumption of two sequential electrons to form radical anion and dianion (EE mechanism). The electrode reaction pathway and the electrochemical parameters of the investigated compound were determined using cyclic voltammetry and convolution – deconvolution transforms. The extracted electrochemical parameters were verified and confirmed via digital simulation method.
