Electrochemical activation of a metal oxo bond; oxidation of cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) tetraphenylporphyrin
Abstract
The one electron oxidation and coupled oxygen atom transfer of cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) tetraphynylporphyrin, O2Mo(TPP), was investigated by the use of cyclic voltammetry and thin-layer spectroelectrochemistry.
