Journal ArticleDOI

Development of bioinspired Mn4O4-Cubane water oxidation catalysts: Lessons from photosynthesis

TL;DR: The chemical principles that may govern the PSII-WOC are examined by comparing the water oxidation capabilities of structurally related synthetic manganese-oxo complexes, particularly those with a cubical Mn( 4)O(4) core ("cubanes").
Journal ArticleDOI

Water-oxidation catalysis by manganese in a geochemical-like cycle

TL;DR: In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy studies demonstrate that this manganese cluster dissociates into Mn(II) compounds in the Nafion, which are then reoxidized to form dispersed nanoparticles of a disordered Mn(III/IV)-oxide phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solar Driven Water Oxidation by a Bioinspired Manganese Molecular Catalyst

TL;DR: A photoelectrochemical cell was designed that catalyzes the photooxidation of water using visible light as the sole energy source and a molecular catalyst synthesized from earth-abundant elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sustained water oxidation photocatalysis by a bioinspired manganese cluster.

TL;DR: This finding suggests the possibility of creating a catalytic cycle that could oxidize two water molecules bound to 2 along the reverse pathway in Scheme 1 (1-3H!1-2H! 1- H!1), eventually forming 3 by photochemical release of O2 and a phosphinate ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular water-oxidation catalysts for photoelectrochemical cells

TL;DR: This Perspective article focuses on significant efforts to develop solid state materials and molecular coordination complexes as catalyst for water oxidation and examines the activity of molecular catalysts in water oxidation following their attachment to conducting electrodes.
