Inclusion and Stabilization of Electrochemically Generated Anion Radicals of Dicyanobenzenes by Cyclodextrins in Water.

The interaction between cyclodextrins (α-, β-, γ-, and 2,6-O-dimethyl-β-CyDs) and the electrogenerated-intermediate anion radicals of 1,2-(PN), 1,2-(TPN), and 1,3-dicyanobenzenes in aqueous solution has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and in situ electrochemical electron spin resonance spectroscopy
