Abstract
Modification of electrodes by film deposit containing transition metal complexes is reviewed in the scope of application to selective electrocatalytic reactions. The selected organized microstructures are obtained from organic conducting polymers and mineral clays and zeolites. The characterization of the electrochemical properties of the entrapped complexes is described. Applications in electrocatalytic reductions, hydrogenations, electrocatalytic oxidations and oxidations by molecular oxygen catalyzed by manganese porphyrins are described and discussed.
