Homogeneous catalysis of dioxygen reduction by molecular Mn complexes
Emma N. Cook, Charles W. Machan
Abstract
in biological systems, there remains a lack of developed Mn-centered catalysts for ORR in comparison to Fe and Co. Here, we summarize known Mn-based molecular electrocatalysts for the ORR and describe their activity as well as future directions of the field.
