The room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) find use in many electrochemical applications such as electro deposition, development of gas sensors, organic synthesis, catalysis, solar cells and batteries, synthesis of novel nanostructured materials etc., due to their unique physico-chemical properties. In the present report, we present the results of benzene oxidation catalyzed by Co(II) dissolved in N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([bmpyr]+[TFSI]-). In this reaction Co(II) acts as the mediator species and first get oxidized to Co(III). This oxidized species when comes in contact with organic compound oxidizes the organic and getting reduced to Co(I). We have carried out the cyclic voltammetric investigations of Co(II) oxidation and mediated oxidation of benzene. The galvanostatic electrolysis carried out confirmed the catalyzing nature of Co(II) and the oxidation of benzene to benzoquinone. |
