Abstract
When CCl3CO2- reacts thermally with porous iron electrodes, the radical CCl2CO2- is formed. This radical reacts with the surface of the electrode to form a transient with a Fe-C σ bond, Fe0&(S)-CCl 2COO-. The mechanism of decomposition of this transient depends on the electrical bias applied to the electrode: at a low bias of E > -0.9 V vs. SCE, HCCl2COO- is the major final product, whereas at a higher bias of E < -1.2 V vs. SCE, HC(O)CO2 - is the major product.
