Abstract

Abstract : A Mn coordination cluster whose core shares some features with the natural oxygen evolving complex provides a bio-inspired complex that promotes catalytic H2 O oxidation at neutral pH value. Abstract : We report the synthesis and characterisation of [Mn8 K2 O4 (OH)2 ((CH3 )3 CCOO)16 (CH3 CN)2 ] whose cluster core shares some features with the oxygen evolving complex (OEC), the natural water oxidation catalyst. Importantly, this complex provides a bio-inspired complex that promotes catalytic H2 O oxidation at neutral pH value.
