Electrochemical
and catalytic studies. (a) Cyclic voltammograms
of FeDiPP, FeTriPP, and FeTetraPP. Conditions: 1.0 mM catalyst, 0.1 M TBAPF6 in Ar-saturated
DMF using a glassy carbon electrode, and 100 mV/s scan rate. Below:
mean reduction potentials (vs Fc/Fc+) from three independent
CV measurements; errors are 1 standard deviation. (b) Catalyst concentration-dependent
CVs (top plot) and CVs normalized by i0p, the peak current
of the FeII/I peak (bottom plot) of FeTetraPP. (c) Mean observed rate constants (kobs) as a function of catalyst concentration for each iron porphyrin
based on three independent CV measurements; error bars represent 1
standard deviation. Conditions: indicated catalyst concentration,
250 mM PhOH, 0.1 M TBAPF6 in CO2-saturated DMF,
and 100 mV/s scan rate.
