2-Ketohydrazono-3-phenyl-5-substituted-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazole과 그 유도체들(1a-h)의 산화환원 특성을 백금 전극의 지지전해질로서 0.1 M tetra n-butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP)을 함유한 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE), dichloromethane (DCM), acetonitrile (AN), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)와 같은 비수용매 속에서 조사하였다. 조사한 화합물들의 산화 및 환원 생성물들을 조절전위 전해법으로 분리 확인하였으며, 산화환원 메커니즘을 제안하고 이를 증명하였다. 조사한 모든 화합물은 잘 알려진 EC 메커니즘에 이은 두 번의 비가역 일전자 과정에 의해 산화되는 반면, 환원의 경우에는 치환기의 성질에 따라, 잘 알려진 EEC 메커니즘에 이은 한번의 이전자 또는 두 번의 연속적인 일전자 과정에 의해 이루어짐을 알았다.
The redox characteristics of 2-ketohydrazono-3-phenyl-5-substituted-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and its derivatives (1a-h) has been investigated in nonaqueous solvents such as 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE), dichloromethane (DCM), acetonitrile (AN), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) containing 0.1 mol.dm-3 tetra n-butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) as supporting electrolyte at platinum ectrode. Through controlled potential electrolysis, the oxidation and reduction products of the investigated compounds can be separated and indentified. The redox mechanism is suggested and proved. It was found that all the investigated compounds are oxidized in two irreversible one-electron processes following the well known pattern of EC-mechanism. On the other hand, these compounds are reduced in a single two electron or in a successive two one electron processes following the well known pattern of EEC-mechanism according to the nature of the substituent
