Abstract
- Solar-powered water splitting is a dream reaction for constructing an artificial photosynthetic system for producing solar fuels. Natural photosystem II is a prototype template for research on artificial solar energy conversion by oxidizing water into molecular oxygen and supplying four electrons for fuel production. Although a range of synthetic molecular water oxidation catalysts have been developed, the understanding of O-O bond formation in this multielectron and multiproton catalytic process is limited, and thus water oxidation is still a big challenge. Herein, we report a trinuclear copper cluster that displays outstanding reactivity toward catalytic water oxidation inspired by multicopper oxidases (MCOs), which provides efficient catalytic four-electron reduction of O
