In this work, the cyclic voltammetry of the DPPH radical solubilized in water by complexation with beta-cyclodextrin was studied in phosphate buffer solutions (0.1 M, pH 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0). The DPPH radical undergoes a reversible proton-coupled reduction, where the half-wave potential linearly shifts to the negative direction as the solution pH increases. On the other hand, the cyclic voltammogram of the oxidation of the DPPH radical is quasi-reversible, indicating that the oxidized product of the DPPH radical undergoes a chemical reaction.}, title = {Electrochemical Redox Behavior of 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl Radical Solubilized by β-Cyclodextrin in Water}, volume = {134}, year = {2021} }
