The research team designed a novel catalyst by anchoring cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) molecules on carbon black (CB), then integrating it with polymer-protected magnetic (Mag) nanoparticles.

The research team created the novel catalyst by attaching cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) molecules to carbon black (CB) and combining them with polymer-protected magnetic (Mag) nanoparticles.

For instance, one study investigated a cobalt complex that includes phthalocyanine and oxo and fluoro ligands, revealing a unique oxidation state of Co(V) that is atypical for cobalt[1].
