Electrochemical reduction of benzoic acid and substituted benzoic acids in some room temperature ionic liquids

Using cyclic voltammetry, the electrochemical reduction of benzoic acid (BZA) has been studied at Pt and Au microelectrodes (10 and 2 μm diameter) in six room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), namely [C2mim][NTf2], [C4mim][NTf2], [C4mpyrr][NTf2], [C4mim][BF4], [C4mim][NO3], and [C4mim][PF6] (where...
