Seven-coordinate Rhenium(III) Complexes with a Labile Coordination Site Assembled on Indium-doped Tin Oxide (ITO) Electrodes: Catalytic Reduction of Dioxygen to Hydrogen Peroxide
The complexes containing seven-coordinate bis(terpyridine)rhenium(III)(OH) moiety with phosphonic acid groups on the ligand have been synthesized and attached on indium-doped tin oxide electrodes. The modified electrodes show pH dependent cyclic voltammograms due to proton-coupled electron transfer and catalyze electrochemical reduction of dioxygen to hydrogen peroxide.
