The influence of carboxylic-acid structure on the kinetics of electrode processes occurring during Kolbe electrosynthesis was studied, and shown to produce changes in the rates of destructive chemisorption and destructive oxidation of the carboxylic acid, in the competition for the platinum electrode surface between the solvent and the carboxylate anions at high anode potentials, and in the routes of radical reactions because of changes in the nature of the radical formed.
