Electrocatalytic oxidation of water by the immobilized [Cu^II(l-ala)(Phen)(H₂O)]⁺ complex on a self-assembled NCS^- modified gold electrode.

ABSTRACT: Copper(ii) complex [Cu^II(l-ala)(Phen)(H₂O)]⁺ (l-ala = l-phenylalanine, phen = phenanthroline) was immobilized over a self-assembled NCS^- modified gold electrode for the electrocatalytic oxidation of water. This surface anchored molecular complex can catalyze water oxidation reaction at a remarkably low overpotential of 327 mV with a current density of 0.5 mA cm^-2 at neutral pH.
