Monograph . — L. :Chemistry, 1968. — 592 s. The monograph introduces the reader to the current state of electrochemistry of organic compounds. It examines in detail the mechanisms of electrode reactions occurring with the participation of organic substances, discusses the main factors determining the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. Much attention is paid to the method of electrochemical synthesis and various types of organic electrolyzers designed for this purpose. Separate sections of the book are devoted to the description of anode and cathode processes involving organic substances , Electrochemical Synthesis of Organoelements , Reactions of free radicals , ions and radical ions, by electrolysis, Theory of amalgam recovery and its preparative use.
