Electrocatalytic properties of a dinuclear cobalt(III) coordination compound in molecular oxygen reduction reaction

A new dinuclear cobalt(III) coordination compound, [Co 2 L(μ‐N 3 )(N 3 ) 2 ]·CH 3 OH ( 1 ), was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic methods, and single‐crystal X‐ray analysis in which H 3 L is a heptadentate ligand obtained by the condensation of triethylenetetramine with 5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzaldehyde. X‐ray analysis revealed that two cobalt(III) ions have distorted octahedral geometry and are connected together by...
