Oxygen reduction catalyzed by a fluorinated tetraphenylporphyrin free base at liquid/liquid interfaces

Hubert Girault, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Bin Su, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Imren Hatay, Zdenek Samec

The diprotonated form of a fluorinated free base porphyrin, namely 5-(p-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-tris(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (H(2)FAP), can catalyze the reduction of oxygen by a weak electron donor, namely ferrocene (Fc). At a water/1,2-dichloroethane in ...

Oxygen reduction by decamethylferrocene at liquid/liquid interfaces catalyzed by dodecylaniline

Hubert Girault, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Bin Su, Raheleh Partovi Nia, Imren Hatay, Zdenek Samec

Molecular oxygen (O2) reduction by decamethylferrocene (DMFc) was investigated at a polarized water/ 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface. Electrochemical results point to a mechanism similar to the EC type reaction at the conventional electrode/solution int ...

Molecular Electrocatalysis for Oxygen Reduction by Cobalt Porphyrins Adsorbed at Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Hubert Girault, Pierre-Alain Carrupt, Bin Su, Imren Hatay, Zdenek Samec

Molecular electrocatalysis for oxygen reduction at a polarized water/1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface was studied, involving aqueous protons, ferrocene (Fc) in DCE and amphiphilic cobalt porphyrin catalysts adsorbed at the interface. The catalyst, (2,8,1 ...

Dioxygen Reduction by Cobalt(II) Octaethylporphyrin at Liquid / Liquid Interfaces

Hubert Girault, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Bin Su, Raheleh Partovi Nia, Zdenek Samec

Oxygen reduction catalyzed by cobalt(II) (2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin) [Co(OEP)] at soft interfaces is studied by voltammetry and biphasic reactions. When Co(OEP) is present in a solution of 1,2-dichloroethane in contact with an aqueous acidic s ...

Oxygen and proton reduction by decamethylferrocene in non-aqueous acidic media

Hubert Girault, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Bin Su, Peiyu Ge, Zdenek Samec, Imren Hatay

Experimental studies and density functional theory (DFT) computations suggest that oxygen and proton reduction by decamethylferrocene (DMFc) in 1,2-dichloroethane involves protonated DMFc, DMFcH+, as an active intermediate species, producing hydrogen perox ...

Proton Pump for O2 Reduction Catalyzed by 5,10,15,20- Tetraphenylporphyrinatocobalt(II)

Hubert Girault, Bin Su, Fengping Li, Raheleh Partovi Nia, Zdenek Samec

The role of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinatocobalt(II) ([Co-(tpp)]) as a catalyst on molecular oxygen (O2) reduction by ferrocene (Fc) and its two derivatives, 1,1’-di-methylferrocene (DFc) and decamethylferrocene (DMFc) at a polarized water¦1,2-dichloro ...

Proton-Coupled Oxygen Reduction at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces Catalyzed by Cobalt Porphine

Hubert Girault, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Imren Hatay, Fengping Li, Zdenek Samec

Cobalt porphine (CoP) dissolved in the organic phase of a biphasic system is used to catalyze O2 reduction by an electron donor, ferrocene (Fc). Using voltammetry at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES), it is possible to driv ...

H2O2 generation by decamethylferrocene at a liquid | liquid interface

Hubert Girault, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Michel Prudent, Bin Su, Mohamad Hojeij, Raheleh Partovi Nia, Zdenek Samec

Hydrogen peroxide generation at a liquid|liquid interface occurs with a yield of 20 % with respect to the concentration of reducing agent (decamethylferrocene). The liquid|liquid interface supplies electrons from the reducing agent and protons from the aqu ...

Evidence of tetraphenylporphyrin monoacids by ion-transfer voltammetry at polarized liquid|liquid interfaces

Hubert Girault, Bin Su, Raheleh Partovi Nia, Zdenek Samec

We present a simple methodology to illustrate the existence of tetraphenylporphyrin monoacid based on ion-transfer voltammetry at a polarized water|1,2-dichloroethane interface and organic pK values are also estimated. ...
