“…Thus, it is assumed that the coverage of the metal (oxide) surface with alkoxy and alkyl radicals inhibits the oxygen evolution reaction or solvent oxidation, while the Kolbe electrolysis is promoted. [36][37][38][39][40][41][42] After the adsorption, an irreversible single electron transfer from the carboxylate to the anode takes place, whereas the simultaneous decarboxylation leads to the formation of an alkyl radical and CO 2 . 36,37 Subsequently, the formed alkyl radicals can follow four different reaction pathways depending on the applied reaction conditions:…”

“…Several studies state that only very weakly or non-adsorbed radicals dimerize. 36,37 Interestingly, for unsaturated and aromatic acids a rather non-statistical combination of dimers is obtained, indicating that these functional groups favour dimerization for their respective adsorbed counterparts. 43,44 However, detailed information on the role of the interaction with the electrode surface yet remains unexplained (Scheme 1).…”

“…We have not used a ratio lower than 1: 10. These results may be explained in the light of the proposition of Eberson [14] [15] and Muck et al [ 161; the carboxylate ion approaches the suitably conditioned electrode (i.e. covered by an oxide layer) and is weakly adsorbed assuming certain orientations (the short chain carboxylate ( 5 C,) approaches in a more or less random fashion, while the long chain ( > C,) does so in an orientation perpendicular to the electrode surface).…”

“…The production of H 2 and O 2 gases accompanies the splitting of water in any aqueous electrochemical cell, but the presence of an organic electrolyte complicates analysis. A well-studied example of an electrolytic reaction involving the acetate ion is the Kolbe reaction, which involves the oxidation of carboxylate at the anode, followed by decarboxylation and dimerization of the alkyl radical [11]:…”
