Photosensitized Water Oxidation by Use of a Bioinspired Manganese Catalyst

Abstract

Die Metallzentren eines zweikernigen Mangankatalysators sind an ein zentrales Phenolat, je ein Imidazol sowie an Carboxylate koordiniert – sämtlich wichtige Funktionalitäten des natürlichen Sauerstoff entwickelnden Komplexes. Der Komplex katalysiert die Umwandlung von Wasser in Sauerstoff durch das Einelektronenoxidans [Ru(bpy)3]3+ (siehe Bild: bpy=2,2′-Bipyridin, A=Akzeptor).
