Quantitative voltammetry of the reduction of methyl benzoate in THF reveals strong ion pairing of the radical anion with tetra-n-butyl cations

The reduction of methyl benzoate was studied in tetrahydrofuran (THF), 0.1 M TBAP, both at platinum and glassy carbon macroelectrodes and at platinum microelectrodes. While cyclic voltammograms obtained at macroelectrodes show extensive distortion due to ohmic drop, this distortion is negligible for...
