>Bipolar electrochemistryin Science of Synthesis. Bipolar electrochemistry has experienced a renaissance in recent years as an emerging technology, most notably in the fields of materials science and organic electrosynthesis. In the Science of Synthesis reference library volume Electrochemistry in Organic Synthesis, Prof. Shinsuke Inagi and Dr. Elena Villani, of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, provide an overview of the basic concepts and recent applications of this electrochemical technique.
