Abstract
Generally, cobalt-N2O2 complexes show selectivity for hydrogen peroxide during electrochemical dioxygen (O2) reduction. We recently reported a Co(III)-N2O2 complex with a 2,2'-bipyridine-based ligand backbone which showed alternative selectivity: H2O was observed as the primary reduction product from O2 (71 ± 5%) with decamethylferrocene as a chemical reductant and acetic acid as a proton donor in methanol solution. We hypothesized that the key selectivity difference in this case arises in part from increased favorability of protonation at the distal O position of the key intermediate Co(III)-hydroperoxide species. To interrogate this hypothesis, we have prepared a new Co(III) compound that contains pendent -OMe groups poised to direct protonation toward the proximal O atom of this hydroperoxo intermediate. Mechanistic studies in acetonitrile (MeCN) solution reveal two regimes are possible in the catalytic response, dependent on added acid strength and the presence of the pendent proton donor relay. In the presence of stronger acids, the activity of the complex containing pendent relays becomes O2 dependent, implying a shift to Co(III)-superoxide protonation as the rate-determining step. Interestingly, the inclusion of the relay results in primarily H2O2 production in MeCN, despite minimal difference between the standard reduction potentials of the three complexes tested. EPR spectroscopic studies indicate the formation of Co(III)-superoxide species in the presence of exogenous base, with greater O2 reactivity observed in the presence of the pendent -OMe groups.

Abstract
We report a Co-based complex for the reduction of O2 to H2O utilizing decamethylferrocene as chemical reductant and acetic acid as a proton donor in methanol solution. Despite structural similarities to previously reported Co(N2O2) complexes capable of catalytic O2 reduction, this system shows selectivity for the four-electron/four-proton reduction product, H2O, instead of the two-electron/two-proton reduction product, H2O2. Mechanistic studies show that the overall rate law is analogous to previous examples, suggesting that the key selectivity difference arises in part from increased favorability of protonation at the distal O position of the key intermediate Co(iii)-hydroperoxide, instead of the proximal one. Interestingly, no product selectivity dependence is observed with respect to the presence of pyridine, which is proposed to bind trans to O2 during catalysis.

Abstract
Triphenylamine (TPA) has often been used as a building block to construct functional organic materials yet is rarely employed in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to its strong electron-donating ability. This versatile segment bears a three-dimensional spatial structure whose effect has not been fully explored in catalytic systems. To this end, five symmetric cobalt porphyrins with carbazole and TPA derivatives have been synthesized and their ORR performance has been evaluated in acid medium. It was found that all compounds produced mainly hydrogen peroxide in oxygen reduction, with CP1 attaching benzyl derivatives and XCP4 possessing TPA-carbazole substituents at the meso-position of porphyrin, showing similar but more positive ORR potential as compared to the other analogues. Importantly, XCP4 achieved the greatest response current and the largest electron transfer numbers and H2O2 yields among the investigated molecules. Detailed electrochemical measurements suggested that the dipole-induced partial charges on the porphyrin in tandem with the more exposed molecular orbitals on TPA contributed to this enhancement, with the former attracting more protons to the affinity of reactive sites and the latter increasing the collision frequency between the electrocatalyst and H+ in solution. This is the first attempt to integrate the intermolecular forces with more exposed molecular orbitals in altering the electrochemical process.

Abstract
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a key component of biological processes and energy technologies. This Review provides a comprehensive report of soluble molecular catalysts and electrocatalysts for the ORR. The precise synthetic control and relative ease of mechanistic study for homogeneous molecular catalysts, as compared to heterogeneous materials or surface-adsorbed species, enables a detailed understanding of the individual steps of ORR catalysis. Thus, the Review places particular emphasis on ORR mechanism and thermodynamics. First, the thermochemistry of oxygen reduction and the factors influencing ORR efficiency are described to contextualize the discussion of catalytic studies that follows. Reports of ORR catalysis are presented in terms of their mechanism, with separate sections for catalysis proceeding via initial outer- and inner-sphere electron transfer to O2. The rates and selectivities (for production of H2O2 vs H2O) of these catalysts are provided, along with suggested methods for accurately comparing catalysts of different metals and ligand scaffolds that were examined under different experimental conditions.

Abstract
Globally increasing energy demands and environmental concerns related to the use of fossil fuels have stimulated extensive research to identify new energy systems and economies that are sustainable, clean, low cost, and environmentally benign. Hydrogen generation from solar-driven water splitting is a promising strategy to store solar energy in chemical bonds. The subsequent combustion of hydrogen in fuel cells produces electric energy, and the only exhaust is water. These two reactions compose an ideal process to provide clean and sustainable energy. In such a process, a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during water splitting, and an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as a fuel cell cathodic reaction are key steps that affect the efficiency of the overall energy conversion. Catalysts play key roles in this process by improving the kinetics of these reactions. Porphyrin-based and corrole-based systems are versatile and can efficiently catalyze the ORR, OER, and HER. Because of the significance of energy-related small molecule activation, this review covers recent progress in hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, and oxygen reduction reactions catalyzed by porphyrins and corroles.

Abstract
The in situ metalation of tetraphenylporphyrin (2HTPP) with Ni on the reconstructed TiO2(110)-1 × 2 surface, resulting in the formation of adsorbed nickel(II)-tetraphenylporphyrin (NiTPP), has been investigated by synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy (SRPES), scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and ab initio Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The metalation can be realized at room temperature irrespective of the deposition order of Ni and 2HTPP, which however leads to different metalation degrees. Increasing the substrate temperature or Ni : 2HTPP ratio results in higher metalation degree, which ultimately reaches its limit at ∼85% (Ni : 2HTPP = 3 : 1) and ∼49% (Ni : 2HTPP = 1 : 1) for post- and pre-deposition of Ni, respectively. The reaction from 2HTPP to NiTPP is accompanied by changes of the molecular adsorption conformation and the adsorption site from a tilted two-lobed feature on added Ti2O3 rows to a four-lobed feature on top of troughs or cross-links of the TiO2(110)-1 × 2 surface. This interpretation of the STM data is supported by DFT-based STM simulations.
