Electrolysis transition metal carbonyl complexes

A different application of eel is illustrated by the alternating current electrolysis of transition metal carbonyl complexes. Figure 6 shows the cycling of a complex A between oxidized and reduced forms. Use of alternating current electrolysis enables chemical use to be made of eel. For example, reaction (42) is known to be achievable by conventional photochemical means and can also be carried out by applying an alternating potential in an electrochemical cell.91...
