Herein we report the first example of using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to quantitatively analyze O2 reductive activation in organic media catalyzed by three different Fe porphyrins. For each porphyrin, SECM can provide in one single experiment the redox potential of various intermediates, the association constant of FeII with O2, and the pKa of the FeIII(OOH)/ FeIII(OO2) couple. The results obtained can contribute to a further understanding of the parameters controlling the catalytic efficiency of the Fe porphyrin towards O2 activation and reduction. |
