lectrolysis is one of the classic preparative methods of
organic chemistry. At the same time, substances produced by
electrolysis (electro-generated species, EGS) - primary generally
unstable particles and final electrolysis-products, can be used
for subsequent investigations. Respectively, two options (a)
without isolation and (b) with isolation of the EGS are considered.
The former includes various electrochemical techniques - cyclic
voltammetry, voltammetry with rotating ring-disc electrode, etc.,
and combined electrochemical (EC-) methods, such as EC- ESR,
EC- NMR, EC- stop flow, etc. These allow to receive valuable
information on the structure of the primary EGSs, kinetics and
laws of their transformations. The latter case, (b) refers to study
of properties and effects of pre-electrode medium, comparing
results of a usual electrolysis, i.e. heterogeneous (EHET), and
homogeneous electro-catalytic processes (EHOM). Taking this
idea a step further, a method with expansion of the reaction zone
from the electrode surface to the bulk of the solution by a gradual
increase in the contribution of EHOM - method. Pre-electrode
tomography (PELTO) is developed. First results of using thePELTO
included detection of differences in the structure of the EHOM-
and EHET- products, determination of the effective orientation
of the substrate particle at the electrode surface, estimate of
transition time to the equilibrium orientation - evaluation of the
“orientation memory”, “Superviscosity”-hypothesis for the pre-
electrodemedium, etc. Further applications of the PELTO- method
are discussed.
