Abstract
Viologen bisphosphonate dibromide was reduced in dilute aqueous hydrof luoric acid solution utilizing aluminum foil, magnesium turnings, or m essy zinc to produce purple aggregates on the surface of the metals an d blue solutions in the case of aluminum and magnesium. UV-visible spe ctra indicate that the blue soltuion exhibits bands at 398 and 599 nm which are characteristic of reduced monomeric dialkylviologen radical cations. Aqueous solutions of other acids did not display analogous re sults.
