Hydrogen donors that function poorly with homogenous catalysts include hydrazine hydrate, alkenes (e.g., cyclohexene), and ascorbic acid. This is somewhat surprising as they can be very effective in heterogeneous transfer hydrogenation. 

Typically, heterogeneous transfer hydrogenations are carried out at higher temperatures. The Noyori-Ikariya ruthenium arene catalysts are stable up to temperatures around 80 °C, whilst the rhodium and iridium CATHy catalysts are...

However, when adsorption of ionic species takes place on solid electrodes, it is difficult to decide what particular characteristic—surface heterogeneity, transfer of charge, lateral interactions, displacement of adsorbed solvent, size of the ions, etc.—is dominant in the process or which one can be neglected. Nonetheless, would it not be possible to include all these effects in a single isotherm It is possible, although not easy. In the following sections we will introduce the development of one isotherm for ionic adsorption where many of these distinctive characteristics of ionic adsorption are considered. 

In the second chapter, Appleby presents a detailed discussion and review in modem terms of a central aspect of electrochemistry Electron Transfer Reactions With and Without Ion Transfer. Electron transfer is the most fundamental aspect of most processes at electrode interfaces and is also involved intimately with the homogeneous chemistry of redox reactions in solutions. The subject has experienced controversial discussions of the role of solvational interactions in the processes of electron transfer at electrodes and in solution, especially in relation to the role of Inner-sphere versus Outer-sphere activation effects in the act of electron transfer. The author distils out the essential features of electron transfer processes in a tour de force treatment of all aspects of this important field in terms of models of the solvent (continuum and molecular), and of the activation process in the kinetics of electron transfer reactions, especially with respect to the applicability of the Franck-Condon principle to the time-scales of electron transfer and solvational excitation. Sections specially devoted to hydration of the proton and its heterogeneous transfer, coupled with... 

A recent development is the transfer hydrogenation of heterocyclic systems such as pyrrole, pyridinium, and quinoline systems. Whilst the yields and enan-tioselectivities are modest at the moment, further development may improve this. For example, 1-methyl-isoquinoline has been reduced to the tetrahydro species and 1-picoline has been reduced to 1-methylpiperidine. Hydrogenation of alkenes has been reported [16], but in the CATHy -catalyzed reaction alkene reduction has only been observed after extended reaction times. Whilst heterogeneous transfer hydrogenation of nitro groups is well known, homogeneous systems do not reduce these groups.

Interestingly, the reaction is specific for the methyl ester the allyl, 1-butyl and 2-butyl esters do not undergo similar rearrangement. This may well be a result of different molecular orientations in these crystals. From a Raman phonon spectroscopic study of the rearrangement, it has been deduced that reaction 10 proceeds by a heterogeneous transfer mechanism that is, the reaction is initiated at random throughout the crystal and terminates where there are random molecular dislocations49. 

It is likely that the cathodic reductions at these electrodes can be produced simultaneously by different types of electrons (1) presolvated hot electrons, (2) hydrated electrons, (3) heterogeneously transferred electrons from the conduction band of the insulating film at insulating film/electrolyte interface, and (4) probably also from the surface states of the insulating film [35, 36, 38,50,54,55]. Normally, only presolvated hot electrons or hydrated electrons are sufficiently energetic to participate in reaction pathways leading to ECL in aqueous solutions. 

In situ electrochemical EPR is a versatile spectroelectrochemical technique as it allows quantitative inference of both the structure and concentration of paramagnetic species formed during electrochemical processes. However, this it is often difficult to distinguish between paramagnetic species that have been formed by the heterogeneous transfer of an electron and those formed subsequently...
