Spectroelectrochemistry of FeIII- and CoIII-mimochrome VI artificial enzymes immobilized on mesoporous ITO electrodes†
Abstract
UV-visible absorption spectroelectrochemistry elucidated the different redox behaviours of FeIII- and CoIII-mimochrome VI artificial enzymes, adsorbed on mesoporous conductive films of ITO. The reduction of the ferric complex was rapid and reversible, while the cobaltic complex exhibited irreversible processes probably related to multiple coordination states.
