In comparison, the level of detail in the understanding of radical ion reaction mechanisms is much lower for a number of reasons. Due to the inherently complex nature of the electron transfer-chemical reaction-electron transfer (ECE) mechanism, measurement of substituent, solvent and isotope effects will usually provide a combination of effects on all the steps involved. Introducing a donor substituent on a substrate will, for example, not only change the relative stability of the transition structures and intermediates with localized charges, but will also affect the rate constant of electron transfer and self-exchange between two substrates as well as the rate of back electron transfer.

Corrosion is a strongly coupled process that consists of three elements chemical reaction, electron transfer, and mass transport. The common point of view, alluded to in the quotation by Pletnev above, applies to the former two subprocesses [1], Thus, in cases in which mass transport is not the limiting factor, the surface strucmre and reactivity become preeminent in corrosion control. 

The electrochemical reduction proceeds at the carbene ligand as a two-electron irreversible process. Since a single reduction wave is observed, the first reduction step must be followed by a very fast chemical reaction yielding the intermediate (probably of radicalic nature), which is reduced even more easily than the starting compound to a final product (the so-called electron transfer, chemical reaction, electron transfer (ECE) mechanism). To understand the mechanism more deeply, the products of electrochemical reduction were separated during the preparative electrolysis from the solution using a continuous extraction to hexane, isolated, and analyzed. 

Magno and Bontenqpelli (24) have reported on the reaction kinetics of electrogenerated 02 in DMF with phenyl benzoate and p-chlorophenyl benzoate second-order rate constants of 3.0W.3 and 25+5 M sec , respectively, were determined by electrochemical techniques. An e.c.e. (electron transfer-chemical reaction-electron transfer) mechanism was shown to be operative and the following mechanism was suggested (equations 19-23) The...
