RESEARCH ON ORGANIC DEPOLARIZERS

Abstract

Half-cell measurements on all depolarizers tested during the contract were tabulated. From these data, depolarizers meeting certain specifications were segregated. No consistent quanti tative correlations were found between half-cell characteristics and the electronic strengths of substituents on nitrobenzenes or on other type depolarizers. The magnitude of the electronic effects of substituents on depolarizer activity is discussed. Stable halogen addition compounds of heterohalides and of chlorine were prepared and tested. Inhibition of corrosion of Mg by tetrasodium dinitropyromellitate and other similar soluble compounds was confirmed. A slight increase in reduction efficiency of benzoquinone was realized in benzoquinone o-DNB (o-dinitrobenzene) mixes. CH3OH (10 and 25% concentration) in NH4Br electrolyte lowered the reduction efficiency of m-DNB.
