27. Actually, several studies report that constant current electrolysis of imidazolium-based ionic liquids produce carbene species when a Pt-cathode is used as working electrode, see for ex.:. Gorodetsky B., Ramnial T., Branda N.R., and Clyburne J.A.C. Chem. Commun. (2004) 1972

29. Additionally, since the absence of any peaks in the reverse plot of cyclic voltammetry experiments, the reduction of such 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds can be reasonably assumed irreversible.
