Abstract
Bis(iminidiacetato)cobaltate(III) complex has been evaluated for electrocatalytic proton reduction. The process follows a rare pathway of protonation of ligand upon addition of a weak acid in DMF/water (9:1 v/v) medium. Thus, the complex becomes electroactive only in the presence of acid. In the presence of weak acid, a new reduction peak corresponding to CoI/Co0 reduction is observed. The electrocatalytic activity towards proton reduction reaction is exhibited by this peak. An electrochemical-chemical-electrochemical (ECE) route initiated by proton relay on ligand site has been established for the electrocatalytic process. The catalytic activity of the complex in DMF/water medium was evaluated by controlled potential electrolysis, turnover number (TON), and turnover frequency (TOF).
期刊介绍：
Electrocatalysis is cross-disciplinary in nature, and attracts the interest of chemists, physicists, biochemists, surface and materials scientists, and engineers. Electrocatalysis provides the unique international forum solely dedicated to the exchange of novel ideas in electrocatalysis for academic, government, and industrial researchers. Quick publication of new results, concepts, and inventions made involving Electrocatalysis stimulates scientific discoveries and breakthroughs, promotes the scientific and engineering concepts that are critical to the development of novel electrochemical technologies.
Electrocatalysis publishes original submissions in the form of letters, research papers, review articles, book reviews, and educational papers. Letters are preliminary reports that communicate new and important findings. Regular research papers are complete reports of new results, and their analysis and discussion. Review articles critically and constructively examine development in areas of electrocatalysis that are of broad interest and importance. Educational papers discuss important concepts whose understanding is vital to advances in theoretical and experimental aspects of electrochemical reactions.
