A Fast Soluble Carbon-Free Molecular Water Oxidation Catalyst Based on Abundant Metals -- Yin et al. 328 (5976): 342 -- Science

A Fast Soluble Carbon-Free Molecular Water Oxidation Catalyst Based on Abundant Metals -- Yin et al. 328 (5976): 342 -- Science: "We report that the complex [Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]10–, comprising a Co4O4 core stabilized by oxidatively resistant polytungstate ligands, is a hydrolytically and oxidatively stable homogeneous water oxidation catalyst that self-assembles in water from salts of earth-abundant elements (Co, W, and P). With [Ru(bpy)3]3+ (bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine) as the oxidant."
