The electrochemical oxidation of toluene in N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([bmpyr]+[Ntf2]−) was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic electrolysis in the presence of Co(II) at a Pt disc working electrode. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) investigations revealed that Co(II)–Co(III) oxidation is a diffusion controlled electron transfer process. The diffusion coefficient values of Co(II) were found to increase from 0.38 × 10−7 to 1.9 × 10−7 cm2 s−1 as the temperature was increased from 25 °C to 80 °C. The CV peak current for toluene electro-oxidation increased by nearly 7 fold in the presence of Co(II) demonstrating a good catalytic effect. Co(II) catalysed galvanostatic electrolysis of toluene at room temperature has shown that benzaldehyde was formed along with a small quantity of 3-methyl-1-hexanol.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
