Tailoring dicobalt Pacman complexes of Schiff-base calixpyrroles towards dioxygen reduction catalysis.
By modifying the mouth of a macrocyclic dicobalt Pacman complex, it is possible to both isolate new bridging-superoxo and hydroxyl complexes and to tune the reactivity of this system towards catalytic four-electron reduction of dioxygen to water.
