Influence of Ligand Denticity and Nuclearity on the Catalytic Activity and Product Selectivity in Oxygen Reduction Reaction Catalyzed by Copper(II) Complexes

Abstract Two mononuclear Cu(II) complexes, [(L1)Cu](ClO4)2 (1), containing the pentadentate BnTPEN (L1 = N-benzyl-N,N′,N′-tris(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2-diaminoethane), and [(L2)Cu(ClO4)](ClO4) (2), supported by the tetradentate BnBPEN (L2 = N,N'-dibenzyl-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2...
