 | | Paired Electrosynthesis at the Femtoliter Scale: Formation of 9,10-Anthracenedione from the Oxidation of Anthracene and Reduction of Dioxygen |
 | | In particular, the oxidation of anthracene is coupled with the simultaneous reduction of dioxygen in acetonitrile to yield the anthracene radical cation and the superoxide anion. |
 | | These latter react within a femtoliter scale volume to form initially 9,10-dihydro-9,10-epidioxyanthracene, which rearranges into 9,10-anthracenedione and, presumably, dihydrogen via an electron transfer catalyzed process. |
