Electroreduction of dioxygen using Co-Ru dinuclear porphyrin catalyst in Nafion film
The mixing of CoTPPS with RuTMPyP (Figure 1) in water or organic solvents (DMSO, acetonitrile) results in dimerization through an electrostatic interaction. The dimeric porphyrin acts as an excellent catalyst for the 4-electron reduction of dioxygen in Nafion film, in which the multi-electron transfer is accelerated through the pi -orbital overlapping.
