Do multinuclear 3d metal catalysts achieve O-O bond formation via radical coupling or via water nucleophilic attack? WNA leads the way in [Co4O4]n
{{output}}
Catalytic water oxidation is a required process for clean energy production based on the concept of artificial photosynthesis. Here, we provide in situ spectroscopic and computational analysis for the closest known photosystem II analog, [Co4O4]n+ ([Co4O4Py4Ac... ...
