Abstract
Using laser photoemission, we found two routes of the electroreduction of a lpha-radicals (R-ads) adsorbed on a mercury electrode for linear and cyclic ethers in the presence of strong proton donors (BH+), i.e., by direct one- electron transfer and with the antecedent formation of the metastable compl ex [R-ads. BH+].
