The radical anion of dimesityltetraketone (ERed, I = -0.40 V) is easily generated in THF by potassium mirror/[2.2.2]-cryptand reduction. Its contact ion pairs with Na⊕, Cs⊕ and Ba⊕⊕ counter cations, prepared in THF solution by single electron transfer from the respective metals, are characterized by their ESR/ENDOR spectra, which exhibit temperature-dependent metal couplings of aNa⊕ = 0.061 mT (190 K), aCs⊕ = 0.021 mT (190 K), and aBa⊕⊕ = 0.145 mT (295 K).

The presence of single-electron transfer (SET) steps in water oxidation processes catalyzed by first-row transition metal complexes has been recently recognized, but the computational characterization of this type of process is not trivial. We report a systematic theoretical study based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the reactivity of a specific copper complex active in water oxidation that reacts through two consecutive single-electron transfers. Both inner-sphere (through transition state location) and outer-sphere (through Marcus theory) mechanisms are analyzed. The first electron transfer is found to operate through outer-sphere, and the second one through inner-sphere. The current work proposes a scheme for the systematic study of single-electron transfer in water oxidation catalysis and beyond.

The photoinduced decarboxylation of carboxylate ions bearing electron-withdrawing groups using biphenyl and 1,4-dicyanonaphthalene leads to the efficient generation of carbanions under mild conditions. The efficiency of the carbanion generation is strongly dependent on the single-electron transfer from the photogenerated radical anion of the electron-acceptor to the radical. In particular, the cyanomethyl anion formed using this photochemical method can be added to benzaldehydes to give the corresponding adducts.

In the presence of two molar equiv. of B(C6F5)3p-benzoquinone reacts with persistent radicals TEMPO, trityl or decamethylferrocene by single electron transfer to give the doubly O-borylated benzosemiquinone radical anion with TEMPO+, trityl cation or ferrocenium counter cations.

A one-pot catalytic method has been developed for the stereoselective synthesis of cyclopropane-fused cyclic amidines using CuBr2/K2S2O8 as an efficient single electron transfer (SET) oxidative system. The generality of this...
