Enhancement of 4-electron O2 reduction by a Cu(ii)-pyridylamine complex via protonation of a pendant pyridine in the second coordination sphere in water.

چکیده
We have synthesised a novel copper(ii) complex with a pyridine pendant as a proton relay port for electrocatalytic 4e(-) reduction of O2 in water. The enhancement of the electrocatalytic O2 reduction via protonation of the pyridine pendant is demonstrated in comparison with a copper(ii) complex without the pyridine pendant.

Macrocyclic heterobinuclear Zn(II)–Cu(II) complexes with phenol based dicompartmental ligands possessing contiguous hexa- and penta-coordination sites were prepared by a stepwise procedure. The ligands include similar N4O2 and dissimilar N(imine)3O2 and N(amine)3O2 coordination sites sharing two phenolic oxygen atoms. The six-coordination site comprises two pyridyl pendant arms on the amine nit...

The new complex of [H2en][Cu(pydc)2].2H2O (1) (where H2en and pydc are ethylenediammonium and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate, respectively) was synthesized by the reaction of a mixture of ethylenediamine (en) and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (H2pydc) in a mixture of CH3OH/H2O as solvent. This complex was fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy as well as single-crystal X-...
