Abstract
Abstract The three possible mono methyl substituted m -dinitrobenzenes have been compared with m -dinitrobenzene as cathode materials in magnesium batteries. The compounds with ortho or para substituted groups show better ampere hour efficiencies than those with meta substituted groups. Inductive effects contribute to higher degrees of electroreduction of the nitro groups, resulting in higher efficiency.
