45. For PEP and PEPEP due to significant overlap of the first and second reductive waves, deconvolution and accurate determination of the half-wave potentials were difficult; these values were estimated from the approximate peak position based on our best judgement and may thus present large errors, but the increasing trend relative to the value of PDI was evident.
