Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide was produced from oxygen and water <italic>via</italic> visible-light irradiation of polymeric heteronuclear cyano-bridged complexes with the 2,2′-bipyridine ligand (bpy) (M<sup>II</sup>[Ru<sup>II</sup>(CN)<sub>4</sub>(bpy)]; M<sup>II</sup> = Ni<sup>II</sup>, Fe<sup>II</sup> and Mn<sup>II</sup>).
