The formal kinetics of a reaction mechanism involving a reversible dimerization following the electron transfer reaction is analyzed in the context of DPSC and LSV as a function of the kinetics of the charge transfer and forward and backward dimerization steps. The ensuing treatments of experimental data are applied to the reduction of 9-cyanoanthracene in dimethylsulfoxide. This illustrates the capabilities of a combined use of DPSC and LSV leding to a precise assignment of the reaction mechanisms and determinations of the pertinent rate constants.
