The electroreduction of 4- and 5-substituted benzofurazans was investigated at a platinum electrode in acetonitrile. Standard potentials for the reactions were linearly related to the energy of the lowest vacant molecular orbital as estimated by Hückel theory. Standard rate constants for electron transfer decreased as standard potentials in the series became more cathodic. This decrease is attributed to a double layer effect. No correlation was obtained between standard rate constants and observed hyperfine splitting constants for the anion radicals.
