Electrochemical reduction of 2-fluorenecarboxaldehyde: A mechanism with a grandparent–grandchild reaction

Novel studies about the electrochemical reduction of progesterone (P4) in acetonitrile at glassy carbon electrodes

“…Experiments performed at slow scan rate were needed to evaluate the dimerization rate constants because the time scale must be long enough that some dimerization has occurred in order to assess the rate. Values found for k dim are quite close to those found in literature for dimerization of organic compounds [30,[35][36][37][38][39]. The average value for the P4 diffusion coefficient is quite close to those calculated previously (see Section 3.2) and the formal rate constants for the two heterogeneous electron transfer steps conform well to reversible or quasi-reversible couples as expected for the electroreduction of conjugated carbonyl compounds, when the constituents of the redox couple are similar in structure and size in dipolar non-aqueous solvents [16].…”

Reversible dimerization of anion radicals: Studies of two cyanopyridines

“…Unless otherwise indicated the temperature was 25°C. Controlled potential coulometry was carried out as described earlier [19]. 3-Cyanopyridine and 2,6-dicyanopyridine were obtained from Aldrich and used as received.…”

Studies of the electrochemical reduction of some dinitroaromatics

“…In all measurements, the reference electrode was at room temperature. Controlled potential coulometry was conducted with a platinum gauze working electrode as described previously [18].…”
