Ru(II) water oxidation catalysts with 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine and tris(pyrazolyl)methane ligands: assembly of photo-active and catalytically active subunits in a dinuclear structure

Alice de Palo, Giuseppina La Ganga, Francesco Nastasi, Massimo Guelfi, Marco Bortoluzzi, Guido Pampaloni, Fausto Puntoriero, Sebastiano Campagna and Fabio Marchetti

A combined DFT and experimental study indicates that one water molecule is allowed to enter the first coordination sphere of a one-site catalyst, thus activating water oxidation.

About this collection

Welcome to the first Spotlight themed collection published by Dalton Transactions.

This is the first in a series of themed web collections on research topics that spotlight the fundamental and applied inorganic chemistry driving, influencing and steering each field of study. They will be guest edited by experts in the fields and will feature previously published and newly commissioned research in each topic.  The aim is to provide a resource of high quality research for someone entering the field, for teachers to recommend to their students, to illuminate new directions for those in the field and demonstrate the vital role inorganic chemistry contributes to these fields.

This web collection guest edited by Prof. Fausto Puntoriero (Università degli Studi di Messina), and Prof. Osamu Ishitani (Tokyo Institute of Technology), highlights the fundamental and applied inorganic chemistry advances inspired by the study of solar radiation as a limitless source of clean energy. The collection contains contributions from experts in the study of solar light conversion, including research focussed on the development of metal complexes and inorganic materials for CO2 photoreduction, photocatalysis, and photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting.

Articles will be added to this themed collection as soon as possible after they are published. Please return to this page frequently to see the collection grow.
