Abstract: Reduction mechanism of 10-nitro-stearic, -oleic, -linoleic acids and their methyl esters was studied in aprotic media (DMF). Generally, all the esters accept the first electron, yielding the anion radical during the first reversible process. The unsaturated anion radicals tend to dimerize, while the saturated anion radical is more stable in time, enabling the acquisition of a well-resolved EPR spectrum. In the case of the acids, the irreversible autoprotonation reduction step precedes, and the formed anions are reduced to the radical species subsequently at more negative potentials than the neutral esters due to the overall negative charge. The presented results were obtained by DC-polarography, cyclic voltammetry at mercury electrodes, and in situ EPR-spectroelectrochemistry.\n
