ABSTRACT
14
The detection of hydroxyl radicals (OH•) is typically accomplished by using reactive probe
15
molecules, but prior studies have not thoroughly investigated the suitability of these probes for
16
use in electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs), due to the neglect of alternative
17
reaction mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the suitability of four OH• probes (coumarin,
18
p-chlorobenzoic acid, terephthalic acid, and p-benzoquinone) for use in EAOPs. Experimental
19
results indicated that both coumarin and p-chlorobenzoic acid are oxidized via direct electron
20
transfer reactions, while p-benzoquinone and terephthalic acid are not. Coumarin oxidation to
21
form the OH• adduct product 7-hydroxycoumarin was found at anodic potentials lower than that
22
necessary for OH• formation. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations found a
23
thermodynamically favorable and non-OH• mediated pathway for 7-hydroxycoumarin formation,
24
which is activationless at anodic potentials > 2.10 V/SHE. DFT simulations also provided
25
estimates of Eo values for a series of OH• probe compounds, which agreed with voltammetry
26
results. Results from this study indicate that terephthalic acid is the most appropriate OH• probe
27
compound for the characterization of electrochemical and catalytic systems.

1. Introduction
33
The hydroxyl radical (OH•) is a highly reactive oxidant species, which is produced via
34
autoxidation in biological systems, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), and electrochemical
35
advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs).1–20 Its ability to react with organic compounds, often
36
with diffusion limited rate constants, and its rapid decay to an innocuous end product of water,
37
has led to an increased interest in using technologies that generate OH• for toxic pollutant
38
degradation.17,21–25 The formation of OH• at the solid-electrolyte interface is key to the operation
39
of photocatalytic and EAOP technologies, and it is an unwanted side product in several energy
40
technologies (e.g., polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells; secondary batteries; redox flow
41
batteries).26–35 Therefore, quantifying OH• production and understanding formation mechanisms
42
are goals across numerous scientific fields. The short lifetime of OH• (~10-9 s in biological cells,22,24,25,36,37 and 10-6 to 10-3 s in water38–40)
43 44
and high reactivity complicate its analytical determination. Therefore, two indirect methods are
45
primarily employed for their detection. The first method is using electron spin resonance (ESR)
46
spectroscopy in the presence of a spin trap, which is a compound that selectively reacts with a
47
radical to form an adduct species that has a sufficient lifetime to allow ESR detection. The
48
second method uses probe compounds that selectively react with OH• and often form adduct
49
species that are detected analytically by conventional chromatographic techniques.
50
The most common spin traps for OH• determination are substituted nitrones, where 5,5-
51
Dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) is commonly used due to its high selectivity for OH•.41–50
52
However, spin traps can result in the false positive detection of OH•, which is documented in the
53
biochemical and toxicology fields.51–56 False positive detection of OH• has been attributed to
54
inverted spin trapping52–54,57 or the Forrester-Hepburn mechanism.51,55,56 Inverted spin trapping

Both methods form a radical adduct (R-OH) which is identical to that formed by OH• attack
62
on the original spin trap. Cyclic voltammetry experiments have shown that spin trap compounds
63
used for OH• detection have peak potentials (Ep) of 1.47 to 2.17 V/SHE on a Pt electrode in
64
nonaqueous solvents (e.g., DMPO, Ep = 1.87 V/SHE),15,58 and thus they are not suitable for OH•
65
detection during photocatalytic and EAOP studies. Studies have also shown that metal ions (e.g.,
66
Cu(II), Fe(III), Cr(V)) can catalyze the nucleophilic addition step of the Forrester-Hepburn
67
mechanism,46,59 which greatly decreases the redox potential necessary for the subsequent direct
68
electron transfer oxidation step.53 Eberson showed that the DMPO-OH- product of nucleophilic
69
addition was oxidized to the DMPO-OH adduct by compounds with low redox potentials (-0.26
70
to 0.74 V/SHE).53 While these mechanisms are well reported in the biochemistry literature,51–55

82
used in various processes are included in the Supporting Information (SI Section S-1), and
83
oxidation potentials of select molecules are summarized in the SI (Table S-5). The most
84
commonly used OH• probes are COU, TA, BA, p-CBA, and p-BQ. The use of probe molecules
85
relies on either the detection of the adduct product, or the disappearance of the probe molecule.
86
Both direct electron transfer and Forrester-Hepburn mechanisms are also possible with probe
87
molecules, and thus could lead to the false positive detection of OH•. These mechanisms are
88
largely missing from the catalytic and electrochemical literature.
89
In principle an appropriate OH• probe should 1) react with OH• at diffusion-limited rates; 2)
90
be resistant to direct electron transfer oxidation reactions at solid/electrolyte interfaces and with
91
soluble redox species; 3) have sufficient solubility in aqueous solutions; and 4) yield a stable
92
product that is detectable by conventional analytical techniques. In this study, we experimentally
93
investigated the suitability of four common probes (i.e., COU, p-CBA, TA, and p-BQ) for OH•
94
detection at a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode using electrochemical methods. Density
95
functional theory simulations were conducted to interpret the experimental data and determine
96
mechanisms for probe compound oxidation. The primary objectives of this study were to
97
determine a stable, selective, and sensitive probe for the detection of OH• produced during
98
EAOPs, and determine the oxidation mechanisms for their removal. Results are discussed in a
99
broader context related to catalytic and photocatalytic systems.

2. Materials and Method
101
2.1 Reagents. Chemicals were reagent-grade and used as received (Sigma-Aldrich). Solution
102
pH was adjusted with H3PO4 or NaOH. All solutions were made with deionized water obtained
103
from a NANOPure water purification system (Barnstead) with resistivity greater than 18.2
104
MΩ·cm (25o C).
105
2.2 Electrochemical Characterization. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and cyclic
106
voltammetry (CV) experiments were performed using a Gamry Reference 600 potentiostat
107
(Warminster, PA). A three-electrode setup was used, with BDD as the working electrode (0.35
108
cm2), a 10 cm long, 0.3 mm diameter Pt wire as counter, and a single-junction saturated Ag/AgCl
109
electrode as reference (Pine Research Instruments, Grove City, Pennsylvania). Experiments used
110
a 50 mL, 1.0 M KH2PO4 background electrolyte (pH = 5.8) at 25 °C. Potentials were reported
111
versus the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) by subtracting 0.197 V from the potential
112
measured versus the reference. Before each experiment, the BDD electrode was preconditioned
113
in a blank electrolyte solution (100 mM KH2PO4) at an anodic current density of 20 mA cm-2 for
114
10 min, followed by a cathodic current density of 20 mA cm-2 for another 10 min. The
115
preconditioning step was used to remove adsorbed organic contaminants from the electrode
116
surface. LSV simulations were performed in Matlab 2015b, and details can be found in the SI
117
Section S-3. 2.3 Bulk Oxidation Experiments. Experiments were performed using a rotating disk
118 119
electrode (RDE) setup at 5000 rpm using a Pine Research Instruments (Grove City, Pennsylvania)
120
rotator assembly (Model: AFMSRCE). Solution temperatures (15, 25, 35 and 45° C) were
121
maintained in a divided and jacketed glass reactor (H-cell) using a re-circulating water bath
122
(Thermo Scientific Neslab RTE 7). A Nafion N115 membrane separator (Ion Power Inc., New
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

123
Castle, Delaware) was used in the H-cell to isolate anodic/cathodic reactions. A schematic of the
124
reactor setup is shown in the SI Figure S-1.
125
2.4 Mass Transfer Rates Constants. The mass transfer rate constant (km) was determined
126
by methods described by Donaghue and Chaplin.104 Briefly, the limiting current technique was
127
used to estimate the limiting current density and km to the electrode surface at a given rotation
128
speed. The km values at 25 °C are listed in the SI (Table S-6). The diffusion coefficient was
129
calculated by the Stokes-Einstein equation, and the temperature dependent viscosity was
130
calculated using the equation proposed by Al-Shemmeri.105
131
2.5 Reaction Rate Constants and Curve Fitting. The reaction rate constants were
132
determined by by simultaneous regression of duplicate experimental data sets, and the fitting
133
results are reported with 95% confidence intervals. The specific, surface area normalized
134
reaction rate constant (ks (m s-1)) was obtained by dividing the first order rate constant by the
135
specific surface area (0.7 m-1).
136
2.6 Analytical Methods. Liquid chromatography (LC) (Shimadzu, LC-20AD) used a SPD-
137
M30A variable wavelength UV-Visible detector set at 254 nm and a reverse-phase C18 column
138
(Phenomenex, 4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm). Methanol:water (40:60, v/v for COU and 50:50 for p-BQ)
139
and methanol:water with 0.1% (v/v) formic acid (60:40 v/v for TA) were used as mobile phases
140
at a total flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The injection volume was programmed at 5 µL (COU or p-
141
BQ) or 10 µL (TA). LC with a fluorescent detector (TF-20A, Shimadzu) was used for 7-
142
hydroxycoumarin (7-OH COU) (λex=332 nm and λem = 471 nm) and 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid
143
(2-OH TA) (λex = 315 nm and λem = 435 nm) quantification. Analysis was performed in duplicate
144
and evaluated using LabSolutions Lite Version 5.63 software.

2.7 Quantum Mechanical Simulations. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations were
146
performed using Gaussian 09 software.106 Unrestricted spin, all-electron calculations were
147
performed using the 6-31G+(d) basis set for geometry optimization and frequency calculations
148
and the 6-311G+(3df, 2p) basis set for energy calculations. Scale factors of 0.9806 and 0.989
149
were used to correct for known systematic errors in frequency and thermal energies,
150
respectively.107 Frequency calculations allowed for adjustment of the Gibbs free energies of the
151
reactants and products to standard state conditions (∆! ! ). The gradient corrected Becke, three-
152
parameter, Lee−Yang−Parr (B3LYP) functional was used for exchange and correlation. Implicit
153
water solvation was incorporated using the SMD model.108 The standard reduction potential of the direct electron transfer reaction (! ! ) was calculated

geometry of the product, but with the same charge as the reactant. Ionic effects of the supporting
170
electrolyte on !! were not calculated, as previous work has shown the effect is minimal in polar
171
solvents with high dielectric constants.113 Transition state structures were determined using the
172
synchronous transit-guided quasi-newton (STQN) method114,115 using the QST3 scheme in the
173
Gaussian 09 software. When this method did not converge, the pseudo reaction coordinate
174
method was used. Transition state structures were verified by confirming that frequency
175
calculations yielded a single negative frequency corresponding to the normal mode along the
176
reaction coordinate. Previous work indicates that errors in the calculation of the reaction energies
177
by DFT methods may be up to ~ 16 kJ mol-1.116

3. Results and Discussion
179
3.1 Voltammetry Results. In order to determine if COU, TA, p-CBA, and p-BQ underwent
180
direct electron transfer reactions at the BDD surface, LSV experiments were conducted with
181
various concentrations of these compounds. Results from LSV experiments indicated that only
182
COU (Figure 1a) and p-CBA (Figure 1c) exhibited an increased current with respect to the
183
background electrolyte at approximately 1.7 and 2.0 V/SHE, respectively, while TA and p-BQ
184
did not (SI Figure S-2). The absence of a current response for TA and p-BQ in this potential
185
range suggested that these compounds did not undergo direct electron transfer reactions. By
186
contrast, linear relationships between the peak currents and concentrations were observed for
187
both COU and p-CBA (Figures 1b and 1d), suggesting they were oxidized by direct electron
188
transfer reactions at the BDD surface. Additionally, LSV study of COU, p-CBA, and TA on a Pt
189
electrode showed that oxidation peaks associated with direct electron transfer were found for
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
10
Page 11 of 41
Environmental Science & Technology
190
both COU and p-CBA at 1.3 and 1.4 V/SHE, respectively (SI Figure S-3). Evidence for a direct
191
electron transfer reaction for TA was not found (SI Figure S-3). Therefore, it is concluded that
192
the findings of this study are not exclusive to BDD.
193
Figures 2a and 2b show the background subtracted LSV scans of 5 mM COU at different
194
scan rates and solution pH values. The reversal scans are not shown, since corresponding
195
cathodic peaks were not observed in the CV scans (SI Figure S-4), indicating either a fast
196
chemical reaction removed the direct electron transfer oxidation product or the product itself was
197
not electrochemically active. The anodic peaks for COU oxidation shifted to less positive
198
potentials with increasing solution pH, indicating OH- participated in the reaction.117 For
199
example, at a scan rate of 300 mV s-1 the peak potentials for COU oxidation at pH 2.16, 5.80 and
200
11.95 were 2.45, 2.38 and 2.12 V/SHE, respectively. The slope between the anodic peak
201
potential and pH at a scan rate of 20 mV s-1 was -22.5 ± 3.40 mV per pH unit. Figure 2c shows
202
that the peak current plotted against the square-root of scan rate follows a linear relationship,
203
indicating a diffusion controlled process and therefore interaction with the electrode surface was
204
not significantly affecting the electron transfer reaction.112
205
The kinetic parameters governing the electrochemical reaction kinetics were determined by
206
fitting a mathematical model to the experimental LSV data. The LSV model fits for COU (root-
207
mean-square error (rms) = 0.072) and p-CBA (rms = 0.058) are shown in Figures 2b and 1c. The
208
simulation results provided E0 values for COU and p-CBA oxidation of 1.95 and 2.34 V/SHE,
209
respectively. The oxidation kinetics of p-CBA were more facile than COU, as the first order
210
heterogeneous kinetic rate constant ko for p-CBA oxidation (1.46 × 10-3 m s-1) was
211
approximately 3 orders of magnitude higher than COU (6.00 × 10-6 m s-1). The values for

212
transfer coefficient α were determined as 0.7 and 0.6 for COU and p-CBA oxidation,
213
respectively, which agree with reported values.112

225
3.2 Bulk Oxidation Experiments. Results from LSV scans indicated that COU reacted via a
226
direct electron transfer reaction at potentials > 1.7 V/SHE (Figure 1a), and therefore bulk
227
oxidation of 1 mM COU was performed at anodic potentials of 1.7 and 2.0 V/SHE to determine
228
the Ea for COU oxidation. The solution was also monitored for the presence of the 7-OH COU
229
product, which is generally considered to be an adduct compound that is formed by OH• addition
230
(Figure 3). Pseudo first-order reaction rate constants were fit to the concentration versus time
231
profiles measured during COU oxidation, and results are summarized in the SI (Table S-7). The
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
13
Environmental Science & Technology
Page 14 of 41
232
calculated km for COU was nearly one order of magnitude higher than ks values determined for
233
COU oxidation at both potentials, and therefore the oxidation of COU was assumed to be
234
kinetically limited. The Arrhenius plots yielded Ea values of 45.2 ± 2.75 (SI Figure S-5) and 16.8
235
± 3.63 kJ mol-1 (Figure 3d) at 1.7 and 2.0 V/SHE, respectively. Significant concentrations of the
236
fluorescent 7-OH COU product were detected during the bulk oxidation of COU (Figure 3). At
237
the conclusion of the oxidation experiments 2.12 × 10-5 and 4.36 × 10-4 mM of 7-OH COU was
238
observed at 1.7 and 2.0 V/SHE, respectively, corresponding to average percent yields of 0.03%
239
and 0.22%, respectively. However, OH• production should be negligible at the anodic potentials
240
of the experiments (1.7 and 2.0 V/SHE), due to the high redox potential for OH• formation (Eo =
241
2.80 V/SHE118). Negligible OH• production is also supported by the low background current (i.e.,
242
0.29 - 0.31 mA) observed in LSV scans of the blank electrolyte (Figure 1a). Therefore, it was
243
assumed that the production of 7-OH COU at anodic potentials of both 1.7 and 2.0 V/SHE was
244
by an alternative reaction mechanism.
245
Sweep voltammetry results indicate that TA and p-BQ were resistant to direct electron
246
transfer oxidation, and thus the oxidation of both compounds at a potential greater than that
247
necessary for OH• formation was attributed solely to OH• oxidation. An anodic potential of 3.0
248
V/SHE, which was sufficient to produce OH• at the BDD electrode,119 was chosen for the
249
oxidation of both compounds. Results from the bulk oxidation of TA and p-BQ at various
250
temperatures are shown in the SI (Figure S-6 and S-7). The values of ks obtained for the
251
concentration profiles of both compounds are summarized in the SI (Table S-7). A significant
252
concentration (4.63 × 10-4 mM and average percent yield of 0.11%) of the fluorescent 2-OH TA
253
product from the bulk oxidation of TA was detected at the conclusion of the experiment (SI;
254
Figure S-6). Meanwhile, there were not any products detected by either the UV-vis or fluorescent
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
14
Page 15 of 41
Environmental Science & Technology
255
detectors from p-BQ oxidation, indicating that ring cleavage of p-BQ occurred, which is
256
consistent with previous studies.93,120,121 The ks values for both TA and p-BQ oxidation were
257
comparable to the km values (SI Table S-7), indicating the bulk oxidation of both TA and p-BQ at
258
3.0 V/SHE were mass transfer controlled. Mass transfer controlled oxidation of p-BQ and TA
259
was attributed to the fast reaction with OH• (kOH•, p-BQ = 1.2×109 M-1s-1 21 and kOH•, TA = 4.4×109 M-1s-1
260
91
261
therefore the disappearance of p-BQ during anodic oxidation experiments was used to assess
262
OH• formation. However, p-BQ is easily reduced to hydroquinone (E0 = 0.28 V/SHE122), and
263
therefore p-BQ is only a useful OH• probe in a divided cell, where the anode and cathode are
264
separated by a selective membrane (e.g., Nafion membrane). Therefore, p-BQ is also not a useful
265
probe in photocatalytic systems where the catalyst possesses both oxidative and reductive active
266

3.3 DFT Modeling. DFT modeling was used to determine Eo and λf values for the direct
274
electron transfer reaction (reaction 1) of each of the OH• probe compounds investigated
275
experimentally (COU, p-BQ, TA, p-CBA). These values were used in Equation (4) to determine
276
Ea profiles as a function of electrode potential. Some additional common OH• probe compounds
277
were also investigated theoretically, including BA and RNO. Results are shown in Figure 4, and
278
Eo and λf values are reported in the SI (Table S-8). The Eo values of 0.84, 2.04, 2.48, 2.55, 2.76,
279
and 3.21 V/SHE were determined for RNO, COU, p-CBA, BA, TA, and p-BQ, respectively.
280
These results were consistent with values determined by model fits of the LSV scans for COU
281
and p-CBA, which yielded Eo values of 2.34 V/SHE (Figure 1c) and 1.95 V/SHE (Figure 2b),
282
respectively. A comparison between experimental and DFT determined Ea values for COU also
283
showed close agreement (Figure 4). Experimentally measured Ea values for COU were 45.2 ±
284
2.75 kJ mol-1 at 1.7 V/SHE and 16.8 ± 3.63 kJ mol-1 at 2.0 V/SHE, which were within -1.2 kJ
285
mol-1 and 12.1 kJ mol-1 of DFT determined values, respectively (Figure 4). The close agreement
286
between experimental and theoretical Ea values at 1.7 V/SHE shows the robustness of the
287
theoretical method. The difference between experimental and theoretical Ea values at 2.0 V/SHE
288
is largely a result of unactivated processes influencing the experimental Ea measurement. For
289
example, temperature effects on molecular diffusion, adsorption, or the structure of the double
290
layer can cause errors in accurately measuring Ea values in this range.123
291
Figure 4 also contains the Ea versus potential profile for OH• formation at an oxidized BDD
292
surface, taken from Chaplin et al.124 Results indicated that the direct electron transfer reaction for
293
RNO and COU proceeded at potentials much less than that for OH• formation, and thus neither

16

294
RNO nor COU are useful OH• probes. The Ea versus potential profiles for p-CBA and BA in
295
Figure 4 are intersected by the profile for OH•, indicating direct electron transfer reactions were
296
likely dominant at potentials < 2.3 V/SHE, and that both direct electron transfer and OH•
297
oxidation likely occurred at potentials > 2.3 V/SHE for these compounds. The results from LSV
298
experiments showed the direct electron transfer oxidation of p-CBA occurred at potentials > 2.0
299
V/SHE (Figure 1c). By contrast, direct electron transfer reactions for TA and p-BQ were
300
predicted to occur after OH• formation. At anodic potentials > 2.3 V/SHE the water oxidation
301
reaction dominated the measured current and therefore LSV scans were not able to provide
302
evidence for direct electron transfer reactions involving p-BQ and TA. In addition, these
303
compounds have fast reaction rate constants with OH• (i.e., kOH•, BQ = 1.2×109 M-1 s-1; kOH•, COU =
304
2.0×109 M-1 s-1),21,91 and at high anodic potentials reactions became mass transfer limited (as
305
noted in SI Table S-7). Past studies have concluded that under mass transfer limited conditions
306
the indirect oxidation with OH• was the dominant oxidation mechanism, because the substrates
307
were depleted via reaction with OH• in the diffusion boundary layer and did not reach the
308
electrode surface.104 The results above suggest that p-BQ and TA are resistant to direct electron
309
transfer reactions and therefore should be appropriate OH• probes, while other probe compounds
310
investigated are not, and their use in electrochemical and heterogeneous catalytic systems should
311
be revisited.
312
An additional requirement for the OH• probes is that they are nonreactive by the Forrester-
313
Hepburn mechanism. Reactivity by this mechanism was assessed by determining Ea and ∆! ! !
314
values for the nucleophilic addition of OH- to each of the compounds, followed by calculation of
315
Eo and λf values for the subsequent direct electron transfer reaction (Table 1). Transition state
316
structures for the nucleophilic reactions are provided in the SI (Figures S-8). Simulations were
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
17

Page 18 of 41
317
conducted for OH- attack on the C7 and C2 atoms for COU and TA, respectively, as these were
318
the fluorescent adduct probes used to assess OH• production in this and other
319
studies.8,10,13,14,16,23,24,37,69–76,79,81,87,91,125 Simulations determined that nucleophilic addition of OH-
320
to COU yielded Ea = 130 kJ mol-1 and ∆! ! ! = 118 kJ mol-1, and addition of OH- to TA yielded
321
Ea = 123 kJ mol-1 and ∆! ! ! = 111 kJ mol-1 (Table 1). The relatively high Ea values and positive
322
∆! ! ! values suggested that these reactions were unlikely to be significant at room temperature.
323
Experimental results supported these theoretical calculations, as removal of COU and TA were
324
not observed under alkaline conditions (pH = 12.4, T = 25 oC). However, catalytic nucleophilic
325
addition has been reported to occur by metal ions in solution (e.g., Fe, Cu, Cr).46,59 Therefore,
326
this reaction may be catalyzed by Fenton type reactions and therefore warrants further study. The
327
Eo values for the corresponding direct electron transfer reactions are -0.23 and -0.05 V/SHE for
328
COU and TA (Table 1), respectively; indicating that these reactions would proceed at anodic
329
potentials provided the nucleophilic addition reactions occurred.

The nucleophilic addition of OH- to p-BQ was investigated at both the C1 and C2 positions.
339
Due to the symmetry of the molecule, these were the only two unique positions for OH- attack.
340
The ∆! ! ! for nucleophilic addition of OH- at the C1 and C2 positions of p-BQ were 14.9 and 289
341
kJ mol-1, respectively (Table 1). These results indicated that attack at the C1 position was
342
thermodynamically favorable and the calculated Ea of 42.1 kJ mol-1 indicated that the reaction
343
was feasible at room temperature (Table 1).126 The corresponding direct electron transfer
344
reaction has a calculated Eo = 1.22 V/SHE, and thus this reaction would readily occur at anodic
345
potentials used in EAOPs and during photocatalysis.
346
The nucleophilic addition of OH- to p-CBA was studied at the C4 position, and resulted in a
347
substitution reaction that formed p-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBA), with Cl- as the leaving group
348
(Table 1). The calculated Ea and ∆! ! ! values for the nucleophilic substitution reaction were 125
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
19
Environmental Science & Technology
Page 20 of 41
349
and -146 kJ mol-1, respectively (Table 1), indicating the reaction was thermodynamically
350
favorable but likely not significant at room temperature. Since p-HBA is a stable product and p-
351
CBA is usually used as a OH• probe based on its disappearance, the direct electron transfer
352
reaction was not studied. These results indicated that p-BQ has the potential to react via the
353
Forrester-Hepburn mechanism, and therefore reactions should not be conducted in alkaline
354
conditions. Results for other compounds are consistent with studies of nucleophilic attack on
355
aromatic derivatives, which indicated that high temperatures are needed for significant reaction
356
rates to proceed.127–129
357
Experimental results showed that the anodic oxidation of COU produced the 7-OH COU
358
product at anodic potentials lower than that necessary to produce OH• (i.e., 1.7 and 2.0 V/SHE),
359
which suggested that this product was not exclusively formed by reaction with OH•. Therefore,
360
DFT simulations were conducted to determine a thermodynamically favorable mechanism for its
361
formation. The overall anodic reaction of COU to form 7-OH COU is given by Reaction (5). 362
+ OH- + H2O
→
+ H3O+ + 2e-
363
(5)
364
This reaction involves 2e- oxidation, which may occur by either direct electron transfer or
365
indirect oxidation with OH•. Results in Figure 4 show that the direct electron transfer oxidation
366
was activationless at potentials > 2.1 V/SHE, which was likely the initial step responsible for
367
conversion to 7-OH COU via a non-OH• radical mechanism. A possible reaction mechanism that
368
does not involve OH• oxidation is given in Figure 5, where ∆! ! ! values were calculated at an
369
electrode potential of E = 2.044 V/SHE (Ea = 2.44 kJ mol-1 (Figure 4)). The mechanism involves
370
three steps, one single electron transfer electrochemical (E) step, followed by one chemical (C)
371
step and another single electron transfer (E) step, and the overall ∆! ! ! = -390 kJ mol-1 at E =
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
20
Page 21 of 41

372
2.044 V/SHE. The mechanism was defined as an ECE mechanism. At an electrode potential of
373
2.044 V/SHE, the first electrochemical step (E1) had ∆! ! ! = 0 kJ mol-1, and values for Ea versus
374
electrode potential are given in Figure 4. All subsequent steps were exothermic. The first
375
chemical step (C1) involved nucleophilic attack by OH-, which was activationless and ∆! ! ! = -
376
152 kJ mol-1. The second electrochemical step (E2) involved a coupled H+ and e- transfer to form
377
7-OH COU. This reaction had a calculated Eo = -0.43 V/SHE, and thus was activationless at an
378
electrode potential of 2.044 V/SHE (∆! ! ! = -239 kJ mol-1). The participation of OH- in the
379
reaction mechanism was consistent with LSV experimental results that showed OH- dependence
380
on the measured peak potential for COU (Figure 2). The stepwise e- and H+ transfer reactions
381
were also investigated, which yielded Eo = 0.81 V/SHE for the e- transfer step and the H+ transfer
382
to H2O was activationless.
383
The results above provided an activationless and exothermic pathway for the formation of 7-
384
OH COU from COU oxidation at an applied anodic potential of E > 2.1 V/SHE, indicating that
385
COU was not a useful OH• probe. Since the initial direct electron transfer reaction was rate
386
limiting, the Ea versus E profile given in Figure 4 should accurately describe the energy barrier
387
for 7-OH COU formation as a function of potential for the non-OH• pathway.

3.4 Broader Significance and Environmental Impacts. Although this study was focused
391
on selecting appropriate OH• probes for EAOPs, our findings have broader impacts that extend to
392
other processes involving electron transfer, such as photocatalysis and energy storage/conversion
393
technologies. In photocatalysis, the formation of OH• occurs through a direct electron transfer
394
reaction from H2O to the UV light excited holes in the valence band of the photocatalyst. This
395
same type of direct electron transfer reaction mechanism can occur for OH• probe compounds,
396
and thus may be falsely interpreted as an indication of OH• formation. Often the direct electron
397
transfer reaction mechanism was assessed in photocatalysis by adding a OH• scavenging
398
compound and assessing its effect on a given substrate.8,24,37,69,70,72–76,98,99 This method does not
399
provide definitive proof for or against a direct electron transfer mechanism, since the OH•
400
scavenger can block direct electron transfer reaction sites and thus slow the reaction of the
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
22
Page 23 of 41
Environmental Science & Technology
401
substrate. In energy storage/conversion technologies, OH• can be formed from H2O2, which is a
402
product of the oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode surface. The formation of OH• is also
403
possible during the charging process in aqueous electrolytes. Therefore, the use of appropriate
404
probe compounds to characterize OH• formation during the charging/discharging process at the
405
electrodes or during fuel cell operation is necessary to prevent false positive detection of OH•.
406
A detailed literature review of OH• probes used in various processes is provided in the SI
407
Section S-1 (Table S-1 to S-4), and electrochemical oxidation potentials of select molecules are
408
summarized in the SI (Table S-5). Table S-5 indicates that OH• probes, such as salicylic acid,
409
luminol, 1-propanol and methylene blue, are susceptible to direct electron transfer reaction, since
410
their reported oxidation potentials are lower than 2.3 V/SHE (Figure 4), however, 1,4-dioxane,
411
with the oxidation potential at 2.4 V, may be an appropriate OH• probe in electrochemical and
412
catalytic systems, but requires further investigation.
413
Many prior studies have used EAOPs and photocatalysis for the oxidation of contaminants in
414
water, and therefore the correct identification and quantification of OH• is necessary in order to
415
understand and optimize these processes for environmental remediation. Careful attention should
416
be given when selecting the appropriate probes to detect the formation of OH• in these processes.
417
Spin trap compounds, RNO, COU, and p-CBA can react by direct electron transfer and
418
Forrester-Hepburn mechanisms, and therefore are not appropriate probes. The results of this
419
study indicated that TA is the most selective OH• probe investigated, since it has a high redox
420
potential (Eo = 2.76 V/SHE), is resistant to the Forrester-Hepburn mechanism, and is not easily
421
reducible.
