1. The notion of concerted proton-electron transfer is also recent. (1b)

3. There is unfortunately no consensus on definitions and acronyms. We use PCET (proton-coupled electron transfer) for all reactions in which, whatever the mechanism, reactant and product systems differ by the exchange of one electron and one proton. CPET is reserved for PCET reactions in which electron and proton transfers are concerted. The most perturbing aspect of this lack of agreement on nomenclature, which should particularly alert the reader, is that some authors use PCET or EPT to mean CPET. Much less serious is the replacement, in the designation of stepwise pathways, of EPT and PET by ETPT and PTET.
