Abstract
Electrosynthesis can be carried out in emulsions formed in situ via sonication of otherwise immiscible liquid/liquid systems. The basic physical principles underlying these experiments are introduced and illustrated via three examples: the electroreduction of liquid olefins, the Kolbe electrooxidation, and the electrogeneration of leuco-methylene green.

The authors thank their coworkers and collaborators, Richard Akkermans, Jon Ball, Steve Bull, Javier Del Campo, Steve Davies, Sarah Roberts, Dave Walton, and Shelley Wilkins for their varied and diverse contributions to our electrosynthetic studies. F. M. thanks the Royal Society for a University Research Fellowship. We also thank James Davis and Nathan Lawrence for making the Coimbra conference all the more enjoyable. Further, we thank Jim Rusling for his interest in our “dynamic” emulsions.
