An artificial model of photosynthetic photosystem II: visible-light-derived O2 production from water by a di-μ-oxo-bridged manganese dimer as an oxygen evolving center

Abstract

Visible-light-derived O(2) production was yielded by conjugating water oxidation catalysis by [(OH(2))(terpy)Mn(μ-O)(2)Mn(terpy)(OH(2))](3+) as an oxygen evolving center model and photo-sensitization of [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) as a photoexcitation center model at an interlayer of mica.
