One site is enough. Catalytic water oxidation by [Ru(tpy)(bpm)(OH2)]2+ and [Ru(tpy)(bpz)(OH2)]2+.
TLDR
Single-site catalytic water oxidation by the monomeric complexes [Ru(tpy)(bpm)(OH2)]2+ and [Ru[Ru( tpy)(bpz)( OH2]2+) by a well-defined mechanism involving RuV═O is reported.Abstract:
Water oxidation is a key reaction in natural photosynthesis and in many schemes for artificial photosynthesis. Although metal complexes capable of oxidizing water based on Ru, Mn, and Ir are known, a significant question is whether or not dimeric or higher order structures are required for water oxidation. We report here single-site catalytic water oxidation by the monomeric complexes [Ru(tpy)(bpm)(OH2)]2+ and [Ru(tpy)(bpz)(OH2)]2+ (tpy is 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine; bpm is 2,2′-bipyrimidine; bpz is 2,2′-bipyrazine) by a well-defined mechanism involving RuV═O.read more

TL;DR: Six dinuclear analogues prepared from 4-tert-butyl-2,6-di(1',8'-naphthyrid-2'-yl)pyridine and characterized in a similar fashion show electronic absorption and redox properties consistent with the electron donor/acceptor ability of the axial 4-R-py ligand.
