In Situ Identification of Intermediates of Benzyl Chloride Reduction at a Silver Electrode by SERS Coupled with DFT Calculations / A. Wang, Y.F. Huang, U. Kumar Sur, D.Y. Wu, B. Ren, S. Rondinini, C. Amatore, Z.Q. Tian. - In: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY. - ISSN 0002-7863. - 132:28(2010), pp. 5934-5936. [10.1021/ja1024639]
Abstract:
Aiming to deeply understand the electrocatalytic mech¬anism of silver on reduction of benzyl chloride, we carried out an in situ electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic study to characterize various surface species in different electrode potential regions. A further analysis with DFT calculation reveals that the benzyl radical and its anionic derivate bonded on a silver electrode are the key intermediates, implying that the pathway could drastically differ from the outer sphere concerted electron reduction at inert electrodes.
