Abstract
Cobalt(II) tetraphenyltetranaphthoporphyrin, with extended conjugation at the pyrrole units, has been synthesized and its spectroscopic and electrocatalytic behavior toward the reduction of oxygen has been investigated. The new complex shows a red shift for the Soret band of 75 nm compared to its cobalt(II) tetraphenylporphyrin analog. In addition, the new complex shows enhanced electrocatalytic ability for the reduction of oxygen in acidic media converting over 50% of the oxygen directly to water, a four electron process at relatively high potentials.
