Abstract

Abstract Recent interest in the electrocatalytic activity of silver towards the reduction of alkyl iodides has led us to investigate whether the effect is observed in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at room temperature. Using platinum electrodes in THF for the reduction of alkyl halides at 298 K has been hampered by the solvent window, which 'obscures' the voltammetric signals of interest. In order to overcome these problems, voltammetry has been performed at low ...
