Abstract: 1 -Nitro-l-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-(substituted phenyl)ethylenes in dichloromethane solutions are reduced on the dropping mercury electrode in two or
three one-electron steps (E1/21=-0.6V, E1/22=-1.25 V, and E1l23=-1.4V
against 1 M-LiCl, Hg2Cl2 /Hg electrode). In the reduction, instable radicals with
lifetime of a few seconds and with centre of the unpaired electron on the nitro
group (e.s.r. investigation) are formed. E1/2 and splitting constants of the
nitrogen nucleus aN correlate satisfactorily with the Hammett constants ox of
substituents on the benzene ring (E1/21=-0.704 + 0.347 σo,p and aN5
= 0.678-0.0339 σo,p).
