Anomalous magnetic property and capability of reducing oxygen to water of heat-treated chloro(tetraphenylporphyrinato)iron(III)
Abstract
Heat-treatment of chloro(tetraphenylporphyrinato)iron(III)(CITPPFeIII) in an Ar atmosphere gives a product with an anomalously high molar magnetic susceptibility, and on it the cathodic reduction of oxygen occurs through a 4-electron pathway, namely oxygen to water.
