• Associated context:

  The addition of TFA to a 1 mm solution of 1_Co causes an increase of the electrocatalytic current near the Co^II/I couple (Figure 13) comparable to the previously observed in CH₃CN (CAS 75-05-8). Remarkably, the i_cat/i_p in water (65 at 60 mm) was found to be significantly higher than in acetonitrile (48 at 60 mm).
