Water oxidation catalytic ability of polypyridine complex containing a μ-OH, μ-O2 dicobalt(iii) core

Complex μ-OH, μ-O2-[{(enN4)2Co2}](ClO4)3 was found to be inactive for photocatalytic water oxidation. Insight was gained into homogeneous water oxidation catalysts based on dinuclear cobalt complexes.
