Abstract
The radical anion P4·− was detected and identified by the ESR method as a spin-adduct with nitrone during the electrochemical reduction of white phosphorus in the presence of a spin trap, viz., α-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone, in a special electrolysis cell with a helical platinum working electrode in the potentiostatic mode. The character of the behavior of P4·− and the spin trap during electrochemical reduction was monitored by cyclic voltammetry directly in the electrolysis cell, and the spin-adduct formed was detected by ESR.
