Optical and Electrochemical Studies of Adsorbed Transition Metal Complexes and Their O sub 2 Electrocatalytic Properties.

Abstract

Water soluble transition metal macrocyclics such as the tetrasulfonated phthalocyanines (TSPC) are strongly adsorbed on noble metal and graphite electrodes in acid and alkaline electrolytes. The CoTSPC is a good catalyst for o2 reduction to peroxide and the FeTSPC for the overall 4-electron reduction. The optical properties of the adsorbed species have been examined using reflectance spectroscopy and evidence obtained for the O2 adduct with the adsorbed complexes. (Author)
