Article Synopsis
- The copper complex with the tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine ligand shows the highest turnover frequency (TOF) for any molecular copper catalyst in the overall reaction reduction (ORR) process.
- Research investigates the redox behavior of copper complexes with different ligands (2,2':6',2″-terpyridine and bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) and finds that these ligands decrease catalytic ORR activity while increasing Faradaic efficiency for hydrogen oxide production.
- The study concludes that the tetradentate nature of the tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine ligand is crucial for achieving high catalytic rates in ORR, primarily due to its ability
As it connects to a large set of important fundamental ideas in chemistry and analytical techniques discussed in high school chemistry curricula, we review the exploding flask demonstration. In this demonstration, methanol vapor is catalytically oxidized by a Pt wire catalyst in an open container. The exothermicity of reactions occurring at the catalytic surface heats the metal to the extent that it glows.
