Researchers at the University of Virginia have developed an iminium-based organoelectrocatalyst (im+) for oxygen reduction reaction with trifluoroacetic acid as a proton source in acetonitrile solution under both electrochemical and spectrochemical conditions using decamethylferrocene as a chemical reductant. Under spectrochemical conditions, H2O2 was the primary reaction product. They attributed this difference in selectivity to the interception of the free superoxide intermediate under electrochemical conditions by the reduced catalyst… read more.
