  ABSTRACT: Edge plane pyrolytic graphite (EPG) electrodes coated with the Co(II)/Pt(II)2 analog of 5,15-bis-(4-pyridyl)-10,20-bis-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin undergo an electrochemical-chemical-electrochemical (ECE) reaction when anodically scanned in 1.0 M sulfuric acid. The new redox couple formed from this anodic conditioning of the coated electrode is dependent on the pH of the solution. Roughened EPG electrodes coated with the Co(II)/Pt(II)2 trimetallic porphyrin show a catalytic shift of 400 mV for the reduction of O2 when compared to the reduction of O2 at a bare EPG electrode. An additional catalytic shift of ca. 150 mV is observed for O2 reduction at an EPG electrode coated with the Co(II)/Pt(II)2 porphyrin which has been oxidized in 1.0 M sulfuric acid. In addition to the added electrocatalysis, a significant percentage of O2 reduced at the oxidized Co(II)/Pt(II)2 EPG electrode is converted to H2O as determined by rotating disk electrode measurements.
