Polarographs and relationship between that and biochemical properties were examined of 2, 4, 6-triamino-5-(R-phenyl) azopyrimidines (A) and 2, 6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-(R-phenyl) azopyrimidines (B) (in which R is H, Cl, SO3H, COON, or PO3H2). These compounds show reduction wave due to the reaction of -N=N-+2H++2e⇔-NH-NH- and -NH-NH-+2H++2e→-NH2+NH2-, its diffusion current constant being ca. 5 (μA⋅mM-1⋅mg.-2/3⋅sec.1/2). The pyrimidine bases and proton adducts of (A) and (B), and 4-phenoxide type anion of (B) indicate different E1/2. The apparent pK calculated from wave height-pH curve is 4.9-7.2 in (A) and 12 in (B), which are greater than the true pK of 4.38-5.38 in (A) and 9.55 in (B). From these values, proton recombination velocity constant was calculated as log k 3.4-9.7 for (A) and 13 for (B). p-Carboxyphenyl and p-sulfophenyl homologs of (A) indicate prewave due to adsorption and the area occupied by the adsorbed molecule on electrode surface was calculated as 112 Å2 from their wave height. The E1/2 of p-substituted compounds of (A) at pH 1 followed Hammett's rule and is represented as E1/2=-0.4+0.14σ. The E1/2 of the antagonist of reduction of folic acid, (A) (R: 4-Cl, 2-Cl, 2, 4-di-Cl) and (B) (R: H) at pH 7.3 is in a more positive potential and those of others (A, R: 4-SO3H, 4-COON, 4-PO3H2, 3-PO3H2) are in the negative potential.
