The water-soluble complex N,N',N '',N'''-Tetramethyl-tetra-3,4-pyridinoporphyrazinocobalt (CoTmt-3,4-ppa) has been deposited by different techniques on two substrate. Electrochemical deposition, spontaneous adsorption, and spin coating have been used to the modification of two electrode material: annealed gold as hydrophilic substrate and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite as hydrophobic substrate.
The modified electrodes have been characterized using cyclic voltammetry, backscattering VIS spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The influence of substrate material and modification techniques on electrocatalytic activity of CoTmt-3,4-ppa modified electrodes for propylene oxidation has been studied.
