Relevance of electron transfer mechanism in electrocatalysis: the reduction of organic halides at silver electrodes.
The mechanism of dissociative electron transfer (ET) to a series of organic chlorides has been investigated both at an inert electrode and at a catalytic surface such as Ag; electrocatalysis is important only when breaking of the carbon-halogen bond is concerted with the ET.
