The parameters which influence the inverted wave appearing in the reverse (oxidation) sweep in the cyclic voltammogramme of the title compound 1 are discussed in detail. The inverted wave is due to the interaction of the reduction products of 1 with the electrode and the electrolyte (TBAFB). The key condition for the presence of the inverted peak is a slow scan rate on the reverse sweep, at least for the last 50 mV before the inversion of the current‐potential curve.
