Abstract
To estimate the applicability of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (bmim+) cation as an electrolyte for electrochemistry, the rate constant of the 1,3-dinitrobenzene dianion protonation with bmim+ in DMF has been measured by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry as 100±30 and 82±6 dm3 mol–1 s–1 and compared with the values for phenol.
