산소가 포화된 DMF 용매에서 다섯자리 Schiff base cobalt(Ⅱ) 착물들의 균일 산화촉매에 의한 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol의 산화주생성물은 2,6-di-tert-butylbenzoquinone(BQ)이고, 이들 균일 활성촉매는 DMSO와 pyridine 용매에서 PVT법에 의한 $O_2$/Co 몰결합비가 1:1인 superoxo형인 [Co(Ⅲ)(sal-DET)]$O_2$와 [Co(Ⅲ)(sal-DPT)]$O_2$이나 DMF 용매에서는 1:1.52이고 고체상태에서는 1:2인 ${mu}$-peroxo형으로 주어진다. 또한 0.1M TEAP-DMSO와 0.1 M TEAP-Py의 지지전해질 용액에서 유리질 탄소전극을 사용한 순한전압전류법과 DPP법에 의한 superoxo형인 균일산화 활성 촉매들의 전기화학적 특성은 $O_2$-의 prewave을 포함한 네단계 환원과정으로 일어난다.
Activated oxidation catalysts are generated by the treatment of pentadentate Schiff base cobalt(Ⅱ) complexes with the oxygen saturated DMF solution. Oxidation of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol by homogeneous oxidation catalysts of superoxo type pentadentate schiff base cobalt(Ⅲ) complexes yields 2,6-di-tert-butylbenzoquinone(BQ) as a major product. And $O_2$/Co mole ratio of homogeneous oxidative catalysts such as [Co(Ⅲ)(sal-DET)]$O_2$ and [Co(Ⅲ)(sal-DPT)]$O_2$by PVT method of the oxygen absorption in DMSO and pyridine solution was 1:1, 1:1.52 in DMF solution and ${mu}$-peroxo type cobalt(Ⅲ) complexes formed at solid state. The redox reaction processes of superoxo type cobalt(Ⅲ) complexes as homogeneous oxidation catalysts were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and DPP method at a glassy carbon electrode. As a result of electrochemical measurements the reduction processes of oxygen adducted superoxo type cobalt(Ⅲ) complexes occurred to four steps including prewave of $O_2$-in 0.1M TEAP-DMSO and 0.1 M TEAP-Pyridine as supporting electrolyte solution.
