TL;DR: With this technique, this work has been able to reliably obtain turnover frequencies, overpotentials, Faradaic conversion efficiencies, and mechanistic information from single samples of surface-bound metal complex catalysts.

TL;DR: Progress has been made on catalysts for water oxidation and CO(2) reduction, dynamics of electron injection, back electron transfer, and photostability under conditions appropriate for water splitting, and details are emerging which define kinetic and thermodynamic requirements for the individual processes underlying DSPEC performance.

TL;DR: An observed equilibrium deuterium isotope effect supports the conclusion that the post-PCET HQ(•)/Q(•-) equilibrium is the most important in determining the 4a/4b ratio at early delay times.

TL;DR: This approach combines solid-phase peptide synthesis for systematic variation of the backbone, copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) as an orthogonal approach to install the chromophore, and assembly of the water-oxidation catalyst in the final step, where the catalyst was found to be incompatible with the conditions both for amide bond formation and for the CuAAC reaction.

TL;DR: A novel approach for creating assemblies on metal oxide surfaces via the addition of a catalyst overlayer on a chomophore monolayer derivatized surface is described.
