TL;DR: The electrochemical reduction of benzyl halides has been investigated at Ag and glassy carbon (GC) electrodes in CH 3 CN+nClO 4 NClO4 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a potentiostatic single-pulse technique was employed to prepare silver nanoclusters deposited on glassy carbon (GC) from CH3CN+−0.1m LiCO4 plating solutions containing 1-2mM AgClO4.

TL;DR: The mechanism of dissociative electron transfer to a series of organic chlorides has been investigated both at an inert electrode and at a catalytic surface such as Ag; electrocatalysis is important only when breaking of the carbon-halogen bond is concerted with the ET.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electrochemical reduction of two model organic bromides, acetobromoglucose and benzyl bromide, on glassy carbon and silver (the best electrocatalytic material for organic halide reduction) is investigated in six popular organic solvents of widely different properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrocatalytic reduction of benzyl bromide at a silver cathode has been investigated in acetonitrile in the absence and presence of acids, using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and controlledpotential electrolysis (CPE).
