48. Although analogous effects might be caused by improper compensation for the ohmic drop, this possibility was ruled out in our experimental conditions thanks to the parallel experiments that we run using redox couples of known heterogeneous kinetics.

51. In our previous work (ref 12a) the standard potential was estimated by using the BDFE for decomposition of the neat peroxide. Whereas the BDE of DBF is believed to be solvent independent based on photoacoustic calorimetric studies (Wayner. D. D. M.; Lusztyk, E.; Pagé, D.; Ingold, K. U.; Mulder, P.; Laarhoven, L. J.; Aldrich, H. S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, 8737), it is not clear that this should be so with the entropy change associated with homolysis. Since the standard potential in eq 22 leads to a BDFE value of 32 kcal/mof (viz. 28 kcal/mo/ from ref 12a) in DMF, we can estimate an entropy contribution to homolysis (-TAS) of 6 kcal/mol in this solvent.

60. 12 Whereas halide - ion solvation is symmetrical, in the case of alkoxide ions the negative charge, being concentrated onto the oxygen atom, is not expected to cause significant reorganization of the solvent molecules around the bulky hydrocarbon side of the ion itself. Therefore, an effective radius for the alkoxides was calculated by using once again the above equation, where now AB is the alkoxide and B the oxygen atom.
