Homogeneous redox catalysis of electrochemical reactions: Part II. Rate determining electron transfer, evaluation of rate and equilibrium parameters
TL;DR: In this article, the reduction of chlorobenzene in DMF with tetrabutylammonium as supporting cation is taken as an example illustrating the occurrence of homogeneous catalysis under the following conditions: (a) charge tranfer control of uncatalyzed reduction of the substrate, (b) activation and diffusion control of the solution electron exchange between substrate and catalyst.

Concerted and Stepwise Dissociative Electron Transfers. Oxidability of the Leaving Group and Strength of the Breaking Bond as Mechanism and Reactivity Governing Factors Illustrated by the Electrochemical Reduction of α-Substituted Acetophenones
TL;DR: In this article, the cyclic voltammetric investigation of a series of α-substituted acetophenones allowed the identification of the concerted and stepwise character of the dissociative electron transfer reaction, and, in the stepwise cases, the determination of the cleavage rate constants and the standard potentials for the formation of anion radical.

Mediated Electrochemistry of Horseradish Peroxidase. Catalysis and Inhibition
TL;DR: A strategy may be devised for gaining a better understanding of the mechanism and reactivity patterns of each elementary step of the primary catalytic cycle, as a consequence of the precise dissection of the rather complex reaction mechanism into its various elementary steps.
Adiabatic and Non-adiabatic Concerted Proton−Electron Transfers. Temperature Effects in the Oxidation of Intramolecularly Hydrogen-Bonded Phenols
TL;DR: Application of test procedures led to the conclusion that the homogeneous reaction is non-adiabatic, with a transmission coefficient of the order of 0.005, and that the self-exchange reorganization energy is about 1 eV lower than previously estimated.
