Dinuclear cobalt-1,10-phenanthroline (1) and 2,2'-bipyridine (2) complexes bridged by 1,8-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyrid-4'-yl)anthracene (btpyan) were prepared. Both of the complexes selectively catalysed the electrochemical four-electron reduction of dioxygen to H2O without the generation of H2O2 as a two-electron reduction product.
双核钴-1,10-菲咯啉（1）和 2,2'-联吡啶（2）配合物由 1,8-双（2,2':6',2''-三联吡啶-4'-基）蒽（btpyan）桥接而成。这两种配合物都能选择性地催化氧气的四电子电化学还原为 H2O，而没有生成 H2O2 作为二电子还原产物。
