Some rate constants for the reduction of para-substituted benzenediazonium ions by the radicals eaq-, ·CH2OH, (CH3)2·COH and some semiquinone radical anions have been measured. The substituent group has no effect on the rates with eaq-, but as the reduction potential of the reducing radical becomes more positive, the substituent effect increases, electron-withdrawing groups enhancing the rates. No free halide is formed on reduction of p-BrC6H4N2+ or p-IC6H4N2+ by eaq- or ·CH2OH.

Radiosensitizers are drugs that make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. The cytotoxic properties of such compounds are due to the fact that in the cell these compounds undergo one-electron reduction to generate radical anions. Therefore, their theoretical and/or experimental study is of high interest. To determine the correlation between reduction potential determined by cyclic voltammetry measurements and some physicochemical properties of selected radiosensitizers theoretical calculations of electron affinities based on the DFT method with B3LYP functional at the level of 6-311++G** basis set in vacuum were utilized. Very good correlation was found between electron affinities of radiosensitizers and their reduction potential and so called E71 potential that account for the energy necessary to transfer the first electron to an electroactive group at pH 7 in aqueous medium to form a radical anion.

Photoexcited perylene diimide radical anions exhibit remarkable substituent-dependent photocatalytic activities towards the reduction of aryl halides, which are mainly controlled by their excited-state reduction potentials and SOMO−1 energies.
