A trinuclear cobalt complex, a new electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction to H2O2

Finding a mononuclear cobalt(iii)-peroxo complex with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane, an intermediate for dioxygen reduction

“…Motivated by the fact that un-coordinatively saturated cobalt complexes can serve as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction, 16,28,29 we also tried to explore electrocatalytic properties of [Co(L)(Cl) 2 ]Cl 1. First, the electrochemical performance of [Co(L)(Cl) 2 ]Cl 1 was investigated by employing cyclic voltammetry at a glassy electrode in CH 3 CN under N 2 , providing the results shown in Fig.…”
