Influences of aniline, carbazole, indole, and pyrrole monomers and polymers on formic acid oxidation at Pt electrodes

Modified Working Electrodes for Organic Electrosynthesis

Organic electrosynthesis has gained much attention over the last few decades as a promising alternative to traditional synthesis methods. Electrochemical approaches offer numerous advantages over traditional organic synthesis procedures. One of the most interesting aspects of electroorganic synthesis is the ability to tune many parameters to affect the outcome of the reaction of interest. One such parameter is the composition of the working electrode. By changing the electrode material, one can influence the selectivity, product distribution, and rate of organic reactions. In this Review, we describe several electrode materials and modifications with applications in organic electrosynthetic transformations. Included in this discussion are modifications of electrodes with nanoparticles, composite materials, polymers, organic frameworks, and surface-bound mediators. We first discuss the important physicochemical and electrochemical properties of each material. Then, we briefly summarize several relevant examples of each class of electrodes, with the goal of providing readers with a catalog of electrode materials for a wide variety of organic syntheses.
