Oxidation of HOOH and HOO

In acetonitrile HOOH is oxidized to 02 via an electron-transfer/chemical/elec-tron-transfer (ECE) mechanism  

Although HOO- reacts rapidly with most organic solvents, it persists long enough in pyridine to permit its electrochemical oxidation via a similar ECE mechanism 44 

The redox chemistry of dioxygen and its reduction products is heavily dependent on mechanistic pathway, substrate, and solution acidity. For those circumstances that are limited by direct electron transfer, the redox mechanisms
