The polarographic and cyclic voltammetric reductions of the three isomeric nitrobenzaldehydes in molten acetamide are investigated. Nitrobenzaldehydes exist in two forms in this melt. The aldehyde group is solvated by acetamide, and there exists an equilibrium between the free nitrobenzaldehyde and the acetamide-solvated nitrobenzaldehyde. The kinetics of solvation is dependent on the acid-base conditions of the melt, temperature of study, and position of the aldehyde group.
