40. The fact that 10% of the phenacyl radicals are abstracting a hydrogen atom from DBP instead of being reduced (reactions c and d in Scheme 1) is not expected to affect the LSV peak shapes, and thus the validity of using an ECE/DISP mechanism for the kinetic analysis. The hydrogen abstraction leads to the formation of a phenoxyl radical that is easily reduced either heterogenously or homogenously (reactions c and d in Scheme 2). Since these reactions are expected to be fast and, furthermore, take place after the rate determining cleavage of the anion radical, the electrochemical response will remain unchanged.

60. a value for m-methoxyphenol reported in DMSO appears to be too high, we have chosen to use the data from ref 52 since they represent the only complete set that have been obtained (by a spectrophotometric method) against the same set of indicators. Furthermore, this set of values has been corrected for contributions from homo-hydrogen bonding.
