Formal potentials of some series of organic compounds, metal complexes and fullerenes in non-aqueous solvents are summarized in this review, on the basis of the work to collect the data for the subsection of "Formal potentials" in the fifth revised edition of "Kagaku Binran, Kiso-hen", (which means Chemistry Handbook, Fundamentals. Maruzene Co., Ltd. 2004, in Japanese). The data were adopted from the papers in which the formal potentials were measured and reported comprehensively for a series of compounds. In this review, concerning each table, brief description is given on the method to determine the formal potentials and the reference electrode, etc, together with the interesting features of the data. In this Part I, the formal potentials of organic compounds are described.
