1. As a result of one-electron transfer there is a change not only in the magnitude, but also in the sign of the correlation curve of the nitro group in aromatic compounds, which corresponds to the conversion of the nitro group to a donor substituent, close to the amino group. 2. The polarographic reduction of m-dinitrobenzene in dimethylformamide proceeds in steps, and the first two steps are one-electron, reversible steps. 3. The nitro anion radicals formed in the polarographic reduction of nitrobenzoic acids in dimethylformamide interact with the proton of the carboxyl group. © 1973 Consultants Bureau, a division of Plenum Publishing Corporation.
