Quantifying the electrocatalytic turnover of vitamin B12-mediated dehalogenation on single soft nanoparticles.

We report the electrocatalytic dehalogenation of trichloroethylene by single soft nanoparticles of VB12 containing droplets, and find that the binding between Co (I), the reduced form of Co (III), and TCE is likely a chemically reversible process and in particular using this model system quantify th...

Summary:We report the electrocatalytic dehalogenation of trichloroethylene by single soft nanoparticles of VB12 containing droplets, and find that the binding between Co (I), the reduced form of Co (III), and TCE is likely a chemically reversible process and in particular using this model system quantify the turnover number and the kinetics of catalytic reactions at individual single soft nanoparticles in real time.
