Three water-soluble cobalt porphyrins have been investigated as water oxidation catalysts via photo-initiation using Ru(II)(bpy)3(2+)/Na2S2O8. The pH dependence of the turnover frequency revealed maximum activity at pH 11. Based on the second order dependence on catalyst concentration for the rate of water oxidation, we suggest a bimolecular radical coupling process as the rate determining step.
三种水溶性钴卟啉已被研究为通过 Ru(II)(bpy)3(2+)/Na2S2O8 光引发的水氧化催化剂。 turnover frequency 对 pH 的依赖关系表明在 pH 11 时具有最大活性。基于对水氧化速率的催化剂浓度的二级依赖关系,我们提出双分子自由基偶联过程作为速率决定步骤。
