Abstract Products from both the thermal and photooxidation of polybutadiene have been studied using various analytical techniques such as infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy, gas—liquid chromatography, phosphorescence emission, and phosphorescence excitation spectroscopy. Analyses have allowed a plausible mechanism to be formulated for the photooxidation of this polymer, consistent with all the observed physical and chemical changes. Both photo- and thermal oxidative polymer degradation initially result in the formation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls which, under photo-degrading conditions, are subsequently photolysed to yield the observed final products.

Here we describe the synthesis and electrochemical testing of a heteroleptic bis(tridentate) ruthenium(II) complex [Ru<sup>II</sup>(LR)(L)]<sup>0</sup> (LR =2,6-bis(1-(2-octyldodecan)benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine, L = 2,6-bis(benzimidazolate)pyridine). It is a neutral complex which undergoes a quasireversible oxidation and reduction at relatively low potential. The newly synthetized compound was used for studies of ion-transfer at the three-phase junction because of the sensitivity of this method to cation expulsion. The [Ru<sup>II</sup>(LR)(L)]<sup>0</sup> shows exceptional stability during cycling and is sufficiently lipophilic even after oxidation to persist in the organic phase also using very hydrophilic anions such as Cl<sup>−</sup>. Given its low redox potential and strong lipophilicity this compound will be of interest as an electron donor in liquid-liquid electrochemistry.
