Catalytic pathways for the reduction of dioxygen can either give H2O or peroxide as the reaction product. The electrocatalytic reduction of O2 by the pyridylalkylamine Cu complex [Cu(tmpa)(L)]2+ in a neutral aqueous solution follows a stepwise 4 e-/4 H+ pathway, in which H2O2 is formed as a detectable intermediate and subsequently reduced to H2O in two sep. catalytic reactions. These homogeneous catalytic reactions are 1st order in catalyst. Coordination of O2 to CuI is the rate-determining step in the formation of the peroxide intermediate. Also, electrochem. studies of the reaction kinetics revealed a high turnover frequency of 1.5 × 105 s-1, the highest reported for any mol. Cu catalyst. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine(cas: 1539-42-0Formula: C12H13N3)
Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine(cas: 1539-42-0) is a secondary amine with two picolyl substituents. As a tridentate ligand this compound provides three nitrogen donors that affords good selectivity for Zn2+ over biologically relevant metals such as Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+, and leaves coordination sites free for anion binding.
