In that reference, the whole electrore-ductive process involving benzophenone did not lead to the isolation of a dimer. But, the mechanistic investigations evidenced the formation of a transient dimer, which would have been what was observable in the experimental conditions of the cyclic voltammetry.

74. It is worth noting that such an ion-pairing effect may also occur with the dianion of the anthracene resulting from the electroreduction of ClAnt. However, we were not able to observe it because the first reversible wave of the anthracene/anthracene radical anion is located very close to the cathodic potential limit of the ionic liquids. Even if the wave of the anthracene dianion would be strongly shifted toward more positive potential because of ion pairing, it will be consequently impossible to observe.
75. 13a However, care should be taken when comparing photochemistry and electrochemistry. First, the photochemical reaction involves a different mechanism starting with H-atom transfer to the benzophenone. Second, reactive intermediate concentrations are several orders higher in electrochemical production than in photochemistry that greatly favors second-order reaction pinacolization.
