Study of oxidation-reduction properties and NO-donor ability of dienediamines in the indole, pyrrole, and thiophene series

We have conducted an electrochemical study of the oxidation-reduction properties of synthesized dienediamines: derivatives of indole, pyrrole, and thiophene. We have established that reduction of the indicated compounds occurs with successive transfer of two electrons, the first transfer being reversible. We consider the effect of structural factors and the nature of the heterocycle on the ease of reduction of the given compounds. We present the results of an initial study of the NO-donor ability of the compounds upon oxidation.
