Electrocatalytic proton reduction by dinuclear cobalt complexes in a nonaqueous electrolyte
Manaswini Raj, Sumanta Kumar Padhi
Abstract
Two dinuclear Co II complexes 1 and 2 have been synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic methods. Both the complexes were employed for H + reduction in organic media. Faradaic efficiency of 82–90% was obtained for the H 2 evolution.
