Abstract

2 MoV'(0) Z (aCaC) 2+ 4 HZCat j [MoV'(0)(Cat),],+ 2 Hacac+ 2H20 2 (purple) 1 (orange) cyclic voltammetry). The product solution is ESR silent. The peak at+ 1. OV is characteristic of the oxidation of catechol to quinone. An initial negative scan of 1 yields a series of peaks at-0.4,-0.8, and-1.1 V vs. SCE. The peaks at-0.8 and-1.1 V represent one- electron/molybdenum reductions of the monomer of 1 and of the reduction product of 1, ...
