Abstract	The pH-dependent reduction behavior of N-monosubstituted-4,4'-bipyridinium ions (RBPY+: R=methyl(C1); benzyl; n-octyl; n-dodecyl) has been investigated by electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical techniques. At acidic condition, RBPY+ is protonated and the protonated species are reduced by two consecutive one-electron processes. The 2e- reduced species undergoes a chemical reaction with H+. The second-order rate constant (kH) of the homogeneous chemical process is (3.7±0.3) × 103 M-1s-1 for the two electron reduction product of C1BPY+. At high pH, the electrode reduction of RBPY+ is one-step 2e- transfer process with concomitant addition of H+, which is confirmed by cyclic voltammetric study using a microdisk electrode.
