Correction to “Investigating the Role of Ligand Electronics on Stabilizing Electrocatalytically Relevant Low-Valent Co(I) Intermediates”

Abstract

Upon further investigation, we found an error in the calculation of the rate constant for the oxidative addition of benzyl bromide using [LCo(I)(MeCN)Br] ligated by L34. The original manuscript stated, at the end of section 2.8, "By varying the scan rate of the CV, the measured oxidative addition rate constant (k OA = 7430 dm 3 mol −1 s −1 ) was found to be over 3 orders of magnitude greater than the disproportionation rate constant (k disprop = 1.63 dm 3 mol −1 s −1 ) for the same complex."The corrected rate constant is k OA = 68.1 dm 3 mol −1 s −1 , as an average of four new independent measurements with a standard deviation of 5.4 dm 3 mol −1 s −1 . Consequently, the sentence should read as follows:"By varying the scan rate of the CV, the measured oxidative addition rate constant (k OA = 68.1 dm 3 mol −1 s −1 ) was found to be over 1.5 orders of magnitude greater than the disproportionation rate constant (k disprop = 1.63 dm 3 mol −1 s −1 ) for the same complex."These corrections do not affect the conclusions of the original article.
