Anion of Quinocyanomethylene: Simulation of Dimerization

3, S-Bis (1,I-dimethylethyl)-4-oxo-2, S-eyelohexadienylideneacetonitrile. QM, is an electron acceptor, Simulation of cyclic voltammogram of QM, in acetonitrile at platinum electrode. was carried out and a scheme was suggested to obtain the heterogeneous rate constants for electron transfer. The results of simulations based on two shareware programs are generally consistent with theoretieal and experimental work.
