Mv. Radugin et al., METHOD OF OBTAINING THE THERMODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF REDOX BEHAVIOR OF VAT DYES IN AQUEOUS-MEDIA, Thermochimica acta, 231, 1994, pp. 49-54
Cyclic voltammetry is suggested as a method for determining the thermo
dynamic characteristics of redox behaviour of vat dyes. In contrast to
the existing methods of studying the redox properties of this class o
f dyes (spectrophotometric and potentiometric titration), the applicat
ion of which is limited due to insolubility of the vat dyes, the sugge
sted technique allows the investigation to be performed in an aqueous
medium for the entire pH interval.
