A Nonheme μ-1,2-Peroxo Dicobalt(III) Complex Acting as a Key Intermediate for Selective Two-Electron/Two-Proton Catalytic Reduction of Dioxygen to Hydrogen Peroxide

The two-electron/two-proton reduction of O2 to H2O2 has attracted considerable attention recently, as H2O2 is both a valuable oxidant and a potential fuel for H2O2 fuel cells. While metalloporphyrins have been extensively studied as efficient catalysts for this reaction, nonheme metal complexes remain largely underex...
