Various electroactive reactants that undergo multipleelectron transfer reactions at electrodes are divided into two broad classes. The first class exhibits a series of single electron steps at different electrode potentials. The second class exhibits multiple-electron transfer in a single voltammetric step. Examples from each class are offered and the reasons for their electrochemical behavior are described.
