| Abstract: | The electroreduction of O2 in two aprotic solvents (nitrobenzene and acetonitrile) was examined in the absence and in the presence of the very strong Lewis acid, triphenylmethyl cation, φ3C+ (φ=phenyl). The addition of φ3C+ causes the electroreduction of O2 to change from the one-electron reduction to O2? | |
