Zeolite-encapsulated transition metal complexes of SALEN [N, N'-bis(salicylidene) ethylenediamine] have been used as catalysts of oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons with oxidants including dioxygen. But in these processes molecular oxygen as oxidant did not show good activity compared with other oxidants such as TBHP. PhIO and H2O2. In order to evaluate the catalytical effect of the hybrid materials on the process of activating molecular oxygen, zeolite-encapsulated M(Co, Fe, Mn)(SALEN) complexes modified glassy carbon electrodes [M(SALEN)/Y/GCEs (M = Mn, Fe, Co)1 were prepared and used as electrocatalysts of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The electrocatalytic reduction of dioxygen, thus, was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronocoulometry (CC) at glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) modified with metal (Co, Fe, Mn) complexes of SALEN encapsulated inside NaY in pH 6.90 aqueous solutions. The results have shown that the M(SALEN)/Y/GCEs (M = Mn, Fe, Co) exhibited efficient electrocatalytic activity towards dioxygen reduction with reduced overpotentials of about 505 mV, 393 mV and 397 mV for Co(SALEN)/Y, Fe(SALEN)/Y and Mn(SALEN)/Y, respectively, lower than bare GC electrode and enhanced peak currents. The electroreduction of O-2 on these modified GCEs is an irreversible and diffusion-controlled process. The transferred number of electrons and the transfer coefficient for dioxygen reduction reaction were determined by CV and CC. These results suggest that zeolite-encapsulated M(Co, Fe, Mn)SALEN complexes can efficiently activate molecular oxygen by decreasing the overpotential and increasing current of oxygen reduction reaction. And dioxygen is reduced to form water in the process. The significance of this work lies in evaluating the catalysis of the hybrid catalysts for oxidation reaction by electrochemical techniques.
