Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj146sq42k" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />The introduction of 'wire-like' arylene ethynylene substituent to the prototypical water oxidation catalyst precursor [RuCl(2, 2′-bipyridine)(2, 2′:6′, 2′′-terpyridine)]PF₆ does not significantly alter the photostability of the compounds, nor the ability of the complexes to oxidise 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol to 4-methoxybenzaldehyde.</p> </abstract>
