Abstract
The dinuclear Co complex [(TPA)Co(μ-OH)(μ-O2)Co(TPA)](ClO4)3 (1, TPA=tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) catalyzes the oxidation of water. In the presence of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and S2O82−, photoinduced oxygen evolution can be observed with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 1.4±0.1 mol(O2) mol(1)−1 s−1 and a maximal turnover number (TON) of 58±5 mol(O2) mol(1)−1. The complex is shown to act as a molecular and homogeneous catalyst and a mechanism is proposed based on the combination of EPR data and light-driven O2 evolution kinetics.
Light-driven oxygen evolution: A dinuclear cobalt complex has been synthesized as a molecular and homogeneous catalyst for light-driven and electrochemical water oxidation. The catalyst can efficiently promote oxygen evolution under visible-light irradiation at near neutral pH in the presence of a ruthenium-based photosensitizer and an electron acceptor.
