Electrochemical generation of a new type of dioxygen carrier complex. Reversible fixation of dioxygen by the highly electron-deficient two-electron oxidized derivative of a dicobalt face-to-face diporphyrin
Abstract
The two-electron oxidized form of the dicobalt(II) face-to-face porphyrin dimer Co2FTF4, electrogenerated in strictly anhydrous conditions, reversibly binds dioxygen.
