Electrocatalytic reduction of dioxygen has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry at glassy carbon electrode modified with new Co(II)-Schiff base complexes in aqueous solutions of various pH. The reduction potentials of dioxygen at chemically adsorbed electrodes show the dependence of pH between pH 4 and 14. The catalytic effect is large and the reaction occurs via two or four electron transfer in various pH solution.
