Abstract

Electrochemical reactions offer a clean route to the formation of anion and cation radical species from neutral organic molecules. Electrons can be added or removed from the substrates under mild conditions without the need for chemical oxidizing or reducing reagents which might complicate the reaction sequence [1]. A major advantage of electrochemical methods is the reduced formation of side products, as no chemical reagents are necessary. Electrochemical methods ...
