Using a rotating platinum ring-disk electrode, the electrochemical reduction of 2-substituted 5(6)-nitrobenzimidazoles at the platinum disk in acetonitrile and the oxidation of their radical anions at the ring were studied. During the reduction molecular hydrogen forms by a bimolecular reaction of two primary radical anions. The correlating of electrochemical quantities with the sigma/sub I/, sigma/sub R/, and sigma/sup ./ substituent constants are evidence that E/sub 1/2//sup d/ depends on substituent resonance and induction effects to about the same extent, whereas i/sub lim//sup d/, n, and E/sub 1/2//sup r/ depend predominantly on the resonance effect.
