Abstract The absorption spectra of phenazine di-N-oxide radical cation (OPO+·) in dichloromethane were recorded by the spectroelectrochemical method in the range from 300 to 700 nm. The reactions of the electrochemically generated OPO+· withpara-substituted toluenes, ethylbenzene, and cumene were studied. Using differential cyclic voltammetry, relative rate constants of reactions of OPO+· with substrates were determined; their correlations with σ+ para constants of substituents gives p = -2.7, which attests to the nonradical character of the reaction of OPO+· with RH. This conclusion is confirmed by the study of the effect of O2 on oxidation of ethylbenzene and cumene.
