title: Proton-coupled O2 reduction reaction catalysed by cobalt phthalocyanine at liquid/liquid interfaces.
abstract: Pushed over the edge: Proton-transfer coupled O(2) reduction catalysed by cobalt phthalocyanine ([CoPc]) was studied at the water/1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface (see figure). This system represents a new model of molecular electrocatalysis with the proton transfer controlled by the Galvani potential difference and the electron transfer by the molecular properties of the catalyst and electron donor.
