Effect of Variation of Concentration and pH on the Cyclic Voltammetric Behaviour of 4-Methyl-3-Vinyl Quinoline-2(1h)-One at Glassy Carbon Electrode

The electro-chemical characteristics of carbonyl compounds are historically of interest. The present paper is aimed at carrying out a methodical cyclic voltammetric investigation of the peak potential values of 4-methyl -3-vinyl quinoline-2(1H) one(MVQ) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with tetra butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) as supporting electrolyte at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with varying scan rate, concentration and pH. All the voltammograms showed only irreversible diffusion controlled reduction. Peak potentials vary linearly with the pH at all scan rates and concentrations.
