Oxidation potentials of phenols and anilines: correlation analysis of electrochemical and theoretical values
"Among these oxidants, chlorine dioxide is the most likely to produce kinetics controlled by simple outer-sphere one-electron transfer, and this made it possible to describe the kinetics using a model based on Marcus theory.11 For that analysis, free energies of oxidation for phenols by chlorine dioxide were calculated using the E1/2 data from Suatoni et al., assuming—and then supporting—their claim that these E1/2's are the one-electron oxidation potentials for phenols."
