    Abstract Image

    A cobalt-tripeptide complex (CoGGH) is developed as an electrocatalyst for the selective six-electron, eight-proton reduction of nitrite to ammonium in aqueous buffer near neutral pH. The onset potential for nitrite reduction occurs at −0.65 V vs Ag/AgCl (1 M KCl). Controlled potential electrolysis at −0.90 V generates ammonium with a faradaic efficiency of 90 ± 3% and a turnover number of 3550 ± 420 over 5.5 h. CoGGH also catalyzes the reduction of the proposed intermediates nitric oxide and hydroxylamine to ammonium. These results reveal that a simple metallopeptide is an active functional mimic of the complex enzymes cytochrome c nitrite reductase and siroheme-containing nitrite reductase.
