We have investigated in this study and for the ®rst time the ability of electropolymerized cobalt porphyrin ®lm on vitreous carbon electrode to catalyze the electrooxidation of 2-mercaptoethanol, by lowering its oxidation potential by ca. 0.7 V. These results extend the use of such electrocatalytica

✦ Synopsis
We report on the synthesis of cobalt 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(2-ethylhexyloxy)phthalocyanine. This complex, when pre-adsorbed onto graphite electrodes, is active for the electro-oxidation of 2-mercaptoethanol. Its activity is higher than that of cobalt phthalocyanine and cobalt tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine adsorbed on graphite. The voltammetric response of adsorbed cobalt 3,4-octaethylhexyl- oxyphthalocyanine exhibits both Co ( II )/ Co ( I ) and Co ( III )/ Co ( II ) reversible processes. However, the Co ( III )/ Co ( II ) couple shows a pH dependence that is different from that reported for other cobalt phthalocyanine derivatives. The much higher activity of cobalt 3,4-octaethylhexyloxyphthalocyanine compared with cobalt tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine and cobalt phthalocyanine is attributed to the electron-donating ability of the ethylhexyloxy substituents on the periphery of the phthalocyanine ligand.
