Abstract

We report the synthesis and characterisation of [Mn₈K₂O₄(OH)₂((CH₃)₃CCOO)₁₆(CH₃CN)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 H₂O oxidation at neutral pH value.
