Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00070a032

Second-order rate constants for the reactions of radical cations of a number of haloanthracenes with pyridine and 2-substituted pyridines were determined in acetonitrile and dichloromethane using electrochemical techniques.Attack at the ipso positions was
