Electroreduction of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene in Room Temperature Ionic Liquids: Evidence of an EC2 Mechanism

The reduction of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been studied in eight room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) on a gold (Au) microdisk electrode and a Au thin film electrode (TFE). Three reduction peaks were observed in all RTILs, corresponding to the reductions of each of the three nitro groups in...
