Designing new molecular pre-catalysts that lower operating overpotentials electrocatalyst conversions is an important objective in increasing energy-to-usable products conversion efficiency. This often requires the design or re-design of related ligands in coordination chemistry complexes. Expanding upon previous work on homoleptic cobalt complexes of 4’-aryl-substitute mer-terpyridines, we have worked out the synthesis of a new class of meridional ligands derived from quinoline and their cobalt complexes. Here, we will elaborate on their synthesis and preliminary electrocatalytic behavior.
