EEC’ mechanism

Using the dropping zinc amalgam microelectrode, detailed kinetic data were obtained [40], and the two consecutive electron transfers followed by a chemical reaction (EEC) mechanism of Zn(II) reduction could be revealed.

Fig. 17 Double potential step chronoamperometric results at 23°C for the reduction of lucigenin (B +) in DMF containing BU4NBF4 (0.1 M). The circles are experimental values, and the lines show the results of digital simulation for the EEC mechanism (a) including, and (b) without the homogeneous redox equilibrium (eqn 51). Potential-step times varied between 1 and 100 ms. (Ahlberg, et al., 1981)...

Two-electron reduction [58a] or oxidation [224] of 1,3-dimethylidenecyclobutanes yields bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes. Cyclic voltammetry of 2,4-di-9//-fluoren-i-yliden-1,1,3,3-tet-ramethylcyclobutane in DMF at low temperatures demonstrated that bond formation proceeds via an EEC mechanism the rate constant was found to be 20 s [58a]. 

Electrochemical reduction of organic halides has attracted considerable attention. Conventional electroreduction on mercury results only in cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond without reduction of unsaturates (52). However, Cd, Zn, Sn, and Cu form also ethane from olefinic halides 370). An EEC mechanism has been proposed for these reductions [i.e., two electrochemical steps (E) and a chemical (C) step, consecutively] involving a direct electron transfer to the halide and formation of a carbanion 32) ...

Here, the relative stability of the anion radical confers to the cleavage process a special character. Thus, at a mercury cathode and in organic solvents in the presence of tetraalkylammonium salts, the mechanism is expected16 to be an ECE one in protic media or in the presence of an efficient proton donor, but of EEC type in aprotic solvents. In such a case, simple electron-transfer reactions 9 and 10 have to be associated chemical reactions and other electron transfers (at the level of the first step). Those reactions are shown below in detail ... 

The basis for applications will follow the principles laid down in basic European level legislation for the pharmaceutical sector. This is more or less common regardless of the actual mechanism used to gain an approval. The basic requirements for pharmaceutical marketing authorization applications are laid down in Directive 65/65/EEC (as amended). There are no specific requirements for pharmaceutical development or process validation included in the text of that document. 

The above mechanism can be indicated synthetically by a sequence of letters (E = electrochemical step, C = chemical step). Thus, (7.21) (7.22) is EE whereas (7.21) (7.23) is EEC - two H j need be formed in step (7.21) to produce one H2 in step (7.23). In general, in the sequence of letters the last step is rate determining. Since the Tafel slope is determined by the reaction mechanism, it can... 

The name of the mechanism comes from the chemical formation of a surface oxide. Thus step (7.26) is a chemical step and the mechanism can be written as EEC if step (7.26) is rate determining, thus predicting a Tafel slope of 30 mV for low OHads coverage (i.e. on the ascending branch of the volcano curve). Should step (7.27) be rate determining, the mechanism would be EEEEC with a predicted Tafel slope of 15 mV. Unfortunately, an electrode exhibiting such a low Tafel slope has never been observed, so that so an active material still remains a dream. 

Caffeine and theophylline decrease total sleep time, time spent in SWS and REM sleep and increase the number of intrasleep arousals. Withdrawal of caffeine in regular users leads to daytime sleepiness, increased slow wave (delta) activity on the EEC and headaches. The mechanism of action appears to be antagonism of central adenosine Ai and A2 receptors which normally exert a CNS depressant action, with consequent interference with the sleep-inducing action of adenosine (Chapter 6).

Abstract. Nanopowders of nonstoichiometric tungsten oxides were synthesized by method of electric explosion of conductors (EEC). Their electronic and atomic structures were explored by XPS and TEM methods. It was determined that mean size of nanoparticles is d=10-35 nm, their composition corresponds to protonated nonstoichiometric hydrous tungsten oxide W02.9i (OH)o.o9, there is crystalline hydrate phase on the nanoparticles surface. After anneal a content of OH-groups on the surface of nonstoichiometric samples is higher than on the stoichiometric ones. High sensitivity of the hydrogen sensor based on WO2.9r(OH)0.09 at 293 K can be connected with forming of proton conductivity mechanism.

EPSP synthase catalyzes the synthesis of EPSP by an addition-elimination reaction through the tetrahedral intermediate shown in Fig. 2a. This enzyme is on the shikimate pathway for synthesis of aromatic amino acids and is the target for the important herbicide, glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in Roundup (The Scotts Company EEC, Marysville, OH). Transient-state kinetic studies led to proof of this reaction mechanism by the observation and isolation of the tetrahedral intermediate. Moreover, quantification of the rates of formation and decay of the tetrahedral intermediate established that it was tmly an intermediate species on the pathway between the substrates (S3P and PEP) and products (EPSP and Pi) of the reaction. The chemistry of this reaction is interesting in that the enzyme must first catalyze the formation of the intermediate and then catalyze its breakdown, apparently with different requirements for catalysis. Quantification of the rates of each step of this reaction in the forward and reverse directions has afforded a complete description of the free-energy profile for the reaction and allows...
