Abstract

Abstract : Visible‐light‐driven water oxidation catalysis with a molecular manganese vanadium oxide, [Mn4 V4 O17 (OAc)3 ] 3−, is reported by C. Streb and co‐workers in their Communication onpage 6329 ff. Turnover numbers and turnover frequencies of up to 1150 and 2 s −1, respectively, were achieved in this process. The cluster is chemically similar to the oxygen‐evolving complex, the photosynthetic water oxidation center in plants.
