Molecular catalysis plays an essential role in both natural and artificial photosynthesis (AP).
However, the field of molecular catalysis for AP has gradually declined in recent years …

In this review we discuss at the mechanistic level the different steps involved in water
oxidation catalysis with ruthenium-based molecular catalysts. We have chosen to focus on …

Water oxidation is one of the most important reactions in natural and artificial energy
conversion schemes. In nature, solar energy is converted to chemical energy via water …

Development of efficient and economic water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) remains a crucial
bottleneck on the way to artificial photosynthesis applications. Over the past few decades …

A water-oxidation catalyst with high intrinsic activity is the foundation for developing any type
of water-splitting device. To celebrate its 10 years anniversary, in this Perspective we focus …

In this study, we highlight the impact of catalyst geometry on the formation of O− O bonds in
Cu2 and Fe2 catalysts. A series of Cu2 complexes with diverse linkers are designed as …

Intercatalyst coupling has been widely applied in the functional mimics for binuclear synergy
in natural metal enzymes. Herein, we introduce two facile and effective design strategies …

In nature, water oxidation is catalyzed by Mn4Ca clusters in the oxygen-evolving complex
(OEC) of photosystem II (PSII), in which a manganese (V)-oxo species acts as an active …

A deeper mechanistic understanding of the key O–O bond formation step of water oxidation
by the [Ru (bda)(L) 2](bdaH2= 2, 2′-bipyridine-6, 6′-dicarboxylic acid; L is a pyridine or …

Lowering the overpotential required for water oxidation is of paramount importance for the
efficient production of carbon‐neutral fuels. This article highlights the intrinsic influence of …
