This textbook is an accessible overview of the broad field of organic electrochemistry, covering the fundamentals and applications of contemporary organic electrochemistry. The book begins with an introduction to the fundamental aspects of electrode electron transfer and methods for the electrochemical measurement of organic molecules. It then goes on to discuss organic electrosynthesis of molecules and macromolecules, including detailed experimental information for the electrochemical synthesis of organic compounds and conducting polymers. Later chapters highlight new methodology for organic electrochemical synthesis, for example electrolysis in ionic liquids, the application to organic electronic devices such as solar cells and LEDs, and examples of commercialized organic electrode processes. Appendices present useful supplementary information including experimental examples of organic electrosynthesis, and tables of physical data (redox potentials of various organic solvents and organic compounds and physical properties of various organic solvents).
The editors, Lund (emeritus, organic chemistry, Aarhus U., Denmark) and Hammerich (chemistry, U. of Copenhagen), have substantially revised and expanded this basic reference work (originally edited by Bazier). There are two new chapters--on the electrochemistry of C60 compounds and electroenzymatic synthesis--and one-third of the chapters have been rewritten by new authors, these are: carbonyl compounds; anodic oxidation of oxygen-containing compounds; anodic oxidation of sulfur- and selenium-containing compounds; electrosynthesis of bioactive materials (this replaces natural products and pharmaceuticals); organoelemental compounds; reductive coupling; electrochemical partial fluorination; electrogenerated bases; industrial electroorganic chemistry; and conducting polymers. The international group of contributors are all academics in various disciplines in chemistry. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
This monograph will clearly depict much of the current, leading research into the reactions and properties of organic and bioorganic materials in which electron transfer plays an important role. Organic electrochemistry is increasingly expanding to various interdisciplinary fields and is of major interest to a growing number of researchers and engineers. The contents of this book emphasize the scope of the reaction field at the electrode interface, specifically, electrogenerated active species, new mediatory reactions, and new trends in organic electrochemistry. Many of the results demonstrated in these reports may have broad applications to the development of science and new technologies. The twenty contributing authors are all active researchers in organic electrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry, electrocoordination chemistry, or electroanalytical chemistry.
A presentation of developments in the electrochemistry of C60 and related compounds, electroenzymatic synthesis, conducting polymers, and electrochemical partial fluorination. It contains accounts of carbonyl compounds, anodic oxidation of oxygen-containing compounds, electrosynthesis of bioactive materials, electrolyte reductive coupling, and more.

This book has been written as an introduction to the electro synthesis of organic compounds, in particular for organic chemists. Both authors assume that the knowledge of electro chemistry of these specialists is rather poor and is usually based only on the remnants of the teaching in the courses on physical and analytical chemistry during their university stud ies. Even with Czech chemists one cannot expect - as it was in the past - the experience obtained in the courses on polaro graphy. This is the reason why it was deemed necessary to write an introductory text to the electro synthesis of organics both as regards the theoretical and the methodological point of view, i. e. the fundamental...
Annotation. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was...
An introduction to electrochemical methods and their use in the synthetic laboratory. Covers the major organic electrochemical pathways of synthetic interest, while de-emphasizing the mechanistic literature. For each functional group covered, the essential features of its electrochemical behavior are outlined, including the presumed intermediates. This Second Edition has been revised, covering the literature through early 1988, and presents useful electrochemical reactions superior to, and, in some cases, without counterparts in, conventional chemical methods.
