Abstract: The catalytic properties of coordination compounds of Co(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅲ), Ni(Ⅱ), andZn(Ⅱ) with meso-tetrakis (ο-nitrophenyl) tetrabenzoporphyrin [MTP(ο-NO2)TBPor MTBP] on modified graphite electrode for the electro-oxidation of hydrazine have been examined.The results indicate that the oxidation peak potentials shift to more cathodic direction360 mVfor Co (Ⅱ)TBPand 250 mVfor ClFe(Ⅲ)TBPcomparing with graphite electrode, respectively, but shift very little for Ni(Ⅱ)TBPand Zn(Ⅱ)TBP.The catalytic activity was found to decrease in the order:Co(Ⅱ)TBP>ClFe(Ⅲ)TBP>Ni(Ⅱ)TBP>Zn(Ⅱ)TBP.The catalytic kinetics with Co(Ⅱ)TBPand ClFe(Ⅲ)TBPwas studied.The reaction order in OH- is 1 for Co(Ⅱ)TBPand 2 for ClFe(Ⅲ)TBP, respectively.The order in N2H4 is 1 for both complexes.Tafel slopes of 118 mVfor Co(Ⅱ)TBPand 86 mVfor ClFe(Ⅲ)TBPwere obtained.
