The dicobalt complex [ Co2(L2) ] of a Schiff-base pyrrole macrocycle adopts a Pacman structure in solution and the solid state and shows much greater catalytic activity and selectivity for the four-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) than the mononuclear cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) counterpart. Soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) shows that the Co center in Co2(L2) is of the same valence as mononuclear CoPc . However, the former complex shows higher unoccupied Co 3d density which is believed to be beneficial for electron transfers. Furthermore, the XAS data suggests that the crystal fields for Co2(L2) and CoPc are different, and that an interaction remains between two Co atoms in Co2(L2) . DFT calculations imply that the sterically hindered, cofacial structure of the dicobalt complex is critical for the operation of the four-electron reaction pathway during the ORR.

Excellent ORR catalysis activity in both alkaline and acid media was found in porous N-doped carbon hybridized with Fe3C nanoparticle-encased CNTs by annealing ZIF-8, FeC2O4 and cyanoguanidine.
