Electrochemical reduction and oxidation of a series of 1‐substituted naphthalenes (1‐X‐naphthalenes) have been studied by the method of cyclic voltammetry (CV). The first reduction peak of the majority of these compounds corresponds to a one‐electron transfer to form the relatively stable radical anion (RA). For these species, ESR spectra have been registered and interpreted, the life time has been estimated. The first oxidation peaks of 1‐X‐naphthalenes are irreversible and correspond to a transfer of two or more electrons. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
