Stepwise and concerted pathways in photoinduced and thermal electron-transfer/bond-breaking reactions. experimental illustration of similarities and contrasts.
TL;DR: Electrochemical and photoinduced reductive cleavages of four compounds, 4-cyano-alpha-trifluorotoluene, are investigated and compared in terms of concerted vs stepwise mechanisms to show a trend of passing from a concerted to a stepwise mechanism when going from the electrochemical to the photochemical conditions.

Derivatization of surfaces and self-inhibition in irreversible electrochemical reactions: Cyclic voltammetry and preparative-scale electrolysis
Iqbal Bhugun,Jean-Michel Savéant +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, self-inhibition of irreversible electrochemical reactions is discussed under the assumption that the portion of the surface that is covered by the adsorbing or electrode-derivatizing species blocks the electrode reaction completely.

Electrochemically induced aromatic nucleophilic substitution in liquid ammonia. Competition with electron transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, the SRNI mechanism was investigated for a number of substrate and nucleophile systems in liquid ammonia, where cyclic voltammetry was used both for a rapid estimate of the nucleophile reactivity and for a quantitative determination of the rate constants of nucleophile addition on Are.
