Water radiolysis theoretical calculations

Theoretical Calculations of High-Temperature Radiolysis of Water... 

The outer-sphere one-electron reduction of CO2 leads to the formation of the 02 radical anion. In dry dimethylformamide, the C02/ C02 couple has been experimentally determined to be —2.21 V vs. standard calomel electrode (SCE) or approximately —2.6 V vs. the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple [21,22]. From pulse radiolysis experiments, the reduction potential of CO2 is —1.90 V vs. the SHE in water (—2.14 V vs. SCE) [23]. Theoretical calculations have been used to calculate the contributions of various factors to the reduction potential of CO2. These include the electron affinity of CO2,...
