Abstract

Holes (radical cations) were injected into one face of an anthracene crystal slab and discharged at the other face, which was in contact with a neutral aqueous solution containing 1 M NO,-or NOz-. Hole current densities (J) of up to 700 WA cm-2 generated a variety of surface oxidation products including anthraquinone, 9-nitroanthracene (9NA), oxanthrone, anthrone, bianthronyl (BA), and 9, lO-dinitroanthracene with both NO3-and ...
