Abstract of the Invention A method based on a cyclic single electron transfer mechanism has been developed for the electrochemical ini- tiation and interruption of the exothermic quadricyclane to norbornadiene conversion. The method includes the following steps: (a) forming an electroconductive solution comprising said quadricyclane and a neutral carrier oxidant compound in a solvent; (b) oxidizing said carrier oxidant compound to the corresponding cation radical of the oxidant compound by the application of an anodic potential to said solution; (c) oxidizing said quadricyclane to the corresponding quadricyclane cation radical by means of a single electron transfer from said quadricyclane to the cation radical of the oxidant compound, wherein the quadricyclane cation radical spontaneously isomerizes to the norbornadiene cation radical with the liberation of thermal energy; and (d) reducing the norbornadiene cation radical to the corresponding norbornadiene with the liberation of thermal energy, the solvent being non-reactive with said cation radicals.
