Possibility for diarylamine/diarylnitroxide cycling via electrochemical N–O bond formation/bond breaking processes was considered using quantum-chemical and electrochemical methods. It was shown that electrochemically reduced diarylnitroxides undergo fast N–O bond cleavage in the presence of oxophil...
