Bistriazole-p-benzoquinone and its alkali salts: electrochemical behaviour in aqueous alkaline solutions.

Quinones are well known as redox-active compounds. In this work bistriazole-p-benzoquinone was prepared and its electrochemical behaviour in aqueous alkaline solutions was studied by cyclic voltammetry. Two successive one-electron reduction steps were observed - the first step was reversible and the second quasireversible.
