Synthetic Organic Electrochemistry: Calling All Engineers

Year: 2017

Type: review

Abstract: Unmet potential: Electrochemistry is the most simple and basic way of altering the redox-states of organic molecules. Despite extensive studies and its demonstrated promise, it has yet to take off in mainstream synthesis. The reason is due to engineering challenges in instrument design.
