Mc. Chakravorti et Gvb. Subrahmanyam, ELECTROSYNTHESIS OF COORDINATION-COMPOUNDS BY THE DISSOLUTION OF SACRIFICIAL METAL ANODES, Coordination chemistry reviews, 135, 1994, pp. 65-92
The article reviews the electrosynthesis of different kinds of coordin
ation compound by the dissolution of sacrificial metal anodes into aqu
eous and non-aqueous media. The advantages of the method have been emp
hasized and a brief discussion on the mechanism has been included. The
coverage of the literature is almost complete up to 1992 beginning fr
om the early 1970s. In conclusion the article points out certain areas
