We have synthesised a novel copper(ii) complex with a pyridine pendant as a proton relay port for electrocatalytic 4e(-) reduction of O2 in water. The enhancement of the electrocatalytic O2 reduction via protonation of the pyridine pendant is demonstrated in comparison with a copper(ii) complex without the pyridine pendant.
