THE VIOLOGEN INDICATORS

L. Michaelis 1 and Edgar S. Hill 1

1 From the Laboratories of The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research

The tabulation gives the normal potentials of the various indicators at 30°C.; referred to the normal hydrogen electrode, the accuracy is estimated to be ±0.002 volt.

Normal potentials of the viologens at 30°C.:

Methyl viologen –0.446 volts

Ethyl viologen –0.449 volts

Betaine viologen –0.444 volts

Benzyl viologen –0.359 volts

Supposing some solution brings about a coloration of one of these indicators to the extent of A per cent of the maximum color, the oxidation-reduction potential of this solution is E = Eo – 0.06 log

See PDF for Equation

where Eo is the normal potential according to the above tabulation. This normal potential is independent of pH.
