4. Much more stabilized trifluoromethyl and benzylic anions can be formed using the commercially available reagent tetrakisdimethylaminoethene (TDAE), but we have shown that that reagent does not react with aryl halides (M. Mohan, PhD thesis, University of Strathclyde, 2005);

29. The Marcus equation allows the activation energy for the electron transfer to be calculated from the total reorganization energy (that is, the total of the internal and solvent contributions) and the reaction free energy. However, we use in this case only the internal reorganization energies, as studies on similar systems have shown the solvent reorganization energy contribution to be minimal (for example, Refs. [13]-[15]). Nonetheless, the calculated activation energies should be considered as lower limits of the real value.
