MODIFIED ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROCATALITIC OXIDATION OF ALCOHOLS.

摘要

Modified oxidation electrodeelectrocatalytic alcohols.;The present invention provides a complex ofa divalent or trivalent metal from periods 4, 5 and 6 and atetradentate ligand of formula (I);wherein R_ {1}, R2_, R_ {3} and R_ {4}they are independently a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group,with the proviso that two of R1, R2, R3 and R4they are a hydroxyl group in ortho position or for and with the conditionThat metal is not copper. Also, the invention provides amodified electrode comprising a coated conductive substratewith a polymeric film of said complex; as well as a methodfor the preparation of said electrode and the use thereof forcatalyze the electrooxidation of aliphatic chain alcoholsshort.
