Four-electron reduction of O(2) by octamethylferrocene (Me(8)Fc) occurs efficiently with a dinuclear cobalt-μ-1,2-peroxo complex, 1, in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile. Kinetic investigations of the overall catalytic reaction and each step in the catalytic cycle showed that proton-coupled electron transfer from Me(8)Fc to 1 is the rate-determining step in the catalytic cycle.
四电子还原 O(2) 由八甲基二茂铁 (Me(8)Fc) 与双核钴-μ-1,2-过氧配合物 1 在三氟乙酸存在下在乙腈中高效发生。对总催化反应和催化循环中每个步骤的动力学研究表明,Me(8)Fc 向 1 的质子耦合电子转移是催化循环中的速控步骤。
