Attatsi, Isaac Kwaku; Zhu, Weihua; Liang, Xu published the artcile< Noncovalent immobilization of Co(II) porphyrin through axial coordination as an enhanced electrocatalyst on carbon electrodes for oxygen reduction and evolution>, Category: pyridine-derivatives, the main research area is cobalt tetraphenylporphyrin carbon nanotube glassy carbon oxygen reduction evolution.
Catalysis of fuel-producing reactions can be transferred from homogeneous solution to a surface via attachment of the mol. catalyst. A pyrene-pyridine hybrid (Py-Py) was used as an axial ligand to bridge Co(II)tetraphenylporphyrin which was finally immobilized on carbon nanotubes via noncovalent interactions and further deposited on glassy carbon. This noncovalent immobilization of Co(II)porphyrin through axial coordination provides significantly enhanced electrochem. catalyzed oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution, illustrating a new insight into understanding surface catalysis.
