Abstract
Manganese is an abundant element that plays critical roles and is at the reaction center of several enzymes. In order to promote an understanding of the behavior of manganese(II) ion with several aliphatic ligands, in this work, the stability and spectral behavior of the complexes with manganese(II) and ethylenediamine, 1,3-propanediamine or 1,4-butanediamine were explored. A spectrophotometric study of its speciation in methanol was performed at 293 K. The formation constants obtained for these systems were: manganese(II)-ethylenediamine log β110 = 3.98 and log β120 = 7.51; for the manganese(II)-1,3-propanediamine log β110 = 5.08 and log β120 = 8.66; and for manganese(II)-1,4-butanediamine log β110 = 4.36 and log β120 = 8.46. These results were obtained by fitting the experimental spectrophotometric data using the HypSpec software. The complexes reported in this study show a spectral pattern that could be related to a chelate effect in which the molar absorbance is not directly related to the increase in the carbon chain of the ligands.

Abstract
The outer coordination sphere of metalloenzyme often plays an important role in its high catalytic activity, however, this principle is rarely considered in the design of man‐made molecular catalysts. Herein, four Ru‐bda (bda=2,2′‐bipyridine‐6,6′‐dicarboxylate) based molecular water oxidation catalysts with well‐defined outer spheres are designed and synthesized. Experimental and theoretical studies showed that the hydrophobic environment around the Ru center could lead to thermodynamic stabilization of the high‐valent intermediates and kinetic acceleration of the proton transfer process during catalytic water oxidation. By this outer sphere stabilization, a 6‐fold rate increase for water oxidation catalysis has been achieved.

Abstract
The discovered giant clusters are always highly symmetric owing to the spontaneous assembly of one or two basic units. Herein we report the Gd44 Co28 crown and Gd95 Co60 cage, formulated as [Gd44 Co28 (IDA)20 (OH)72 (CO3 )12 (OAc)28 (H2 O)64 ]⋅(ClO4 )24 and [Na4 Gd95 Co60 (IDA)40 (OH)150 (CO3 )40 (OAc)58 (H2 O)164 ] ⋅ (ClO4 )41 (H2 IDA=iminodiacetic acid), respectively, by providing a library containing multiple low-nuclearity units. The heart-like units and crown-like tetramer found in both compounds indicate unprecedented assembly levels, leading to an atypical geometry characteristic compared to the giant clusters directly assembled by regular units. These two clusters not only significantly increase the size of Ln-Co clusters but also exhibit the enhanced magnetic entropy change at ultra-low temperatures. This work provided an effective way to fabricate cluster compounds with giant size and geometry complexity simultaneously.

Abstract
The conversion and storage of solar energy to chemical energy via artificial photosynthesis holds significant potential for optimizing the energy situation and mitigating the global warming effect. Photocatalytic water splitting utilizing particulate semiconductors offers great potential for the production of renewable hydrogen, while this cross-road among biology, chemistry, and physics features a topic with fascinating interdisciplinary challenges. Progress in photocatalytic water splitting has been achieved in recent years, ranging from fundamental scientific research to pioneering scalable practical applications. In this review, we focus mainly on the recent advancements in terms of the development of new light-absorption materials, insights and strategies for photogenerated charge separation, and studies towards surface catalytic reactions and mechanisms. In particular, we emphasize several efficient charge separation strategies such as surface-phase junction, spatial charge separation between facets, and polarity-induced charge separation, and also discuss their unique properties including ferroelectric and photo-Dember effects on spatial charge separation. By integrating time- and space-resolved characterization techniques, critical issues in photocatalytic water splitting including photoinduced charge generation, separation and transfer, and catalytic reactions are analyzed and reviewed. In addition, photocatalysts with state-of-art efficiencies in the laboratory stage and pioneering scalable solar water splitting systems for hydrogen production using particulate photocatalysts are presented. Finally, some perspectives and outlooks on the future development of photocatalytic water splitting using particulate photocatalysts are proposed.

Abstract
The photosynthetic oxygen-evolving center (OEC) is a unique Mn4 CaO5 cluster that serves as a blueprint to develop superior water-splitting catalysts for the generation of solar fuels in artificial photosynthesis. It is a great challenge and long-standing issue to reveal the synthesizing mechanism of this Mn4 CaO5 cluster in both natural and artificial photosynthesis. Herein, efforts were made to reveal the synthesizing mechanism of an artificial Mn4 CaO4 cluster, a close mimic of the OEC. Four key intermediates were successfully isolated and structurally characterized for the first time. It was demonstrated that the Mn4 CaO4 cluster could be formed through a reaction between a thermodynamically stable Mn3 CaO4 cluster and an unusual four-coordinated MnIII ion, followed by stabilization process through binding an organic base (e.g., pyridine) on the "dangling" Mn ion. These findings shed new light on the synthesizing mechanism of the OEC and rational design of new artificial water-splitting catalysts.

Abstract
A series of Ca-Mn clusters with the ligand 2-pyridinemethoxide (Py-CH2O) have been prepared with varying degrees of topological similarity to the biological oxygen-evolving complex. These clusters activate water as a substrate in the oxidative degradation of propylene carbonate, with activity correlated with topological similarity to the OEC, lowering the onset potential of the oxidation by as much as 700 mV.

Abstract
Binding of Lewis acidic metal ions and Brønsted acid at the metal-oxo group of high-valent metal-oxo complexes enhances their reactivities significantly in oxidation reactions. However, such a binding of Lewis acids and proton at the metal-oxo group has been questioned in several cases and remains to be clarified. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity studies of a mononuclear manganese(IV)-oxo complex binding triflic acid, {[(dpaq)MnIV(O)]-HOTf}+ (1-HOTf). First, 1-HOTf was synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, including resonance Raman (rRaman) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy/extended X-ray absorption fine structure. In particular, in rRaman experiments, we observed a linear correlation between the Mn-O stretching frequencies of 1-HOTf (e.g., νMn-O at ∼793 cm-1) and 1-Mn+ (Mn+ = Ca2+, Zn2+, Lu3+, Al3+, or Sc3+) and the Lewis acidities of H+ and Mn+ ions, suggesting that H+ and Mn+ bind at the metal-oxo moiety of [(dpaq)MnIV(O)]+. Interestingly, a single-crystal structure of 1-HOTf was obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis, but the structure was not an expected Mn(IV)-oxo complex but a Mn(IV)-hydroxide complex, [(dpaq)MnIV(OH)](OTf)2 (4), with a Mn-O bond distance of 1.8043(19) Å and a Mn-O stretch at 660 cm-1. More interestingly, 4 reverted to 1-HOTf upon dissolution, demonstrating that 1-HOTf and 4 are interconvertible depending on the physical states, such as 1-HOTf in solution and 4 in isolated solid. The reactivity of 1-HOTf was investigated in hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions and then compared with those of 1-Mn+ complexes; an interesting correlation between the Mn-O stretching frequencies of 1-HOTf and 1-Mn+ and their reactivities in the OAT and HAT reactions is reported for the first time in this study.

Abstract
Understanding how water oxidation to molecular oxygen proceeds in molecular metal-oxo catalysts is a challenging endeavor due to their structural complexity. In this report, we unravel the water oxidation mechanism of the highly active water oxidation catalyst [Mn4V4O17(OAc)3]3-, a polyoxometalate catalyst with a [Mn4O4]6+ cubane core reminiscent of the natural oxygen-evolving complex. Starting from the activated species [Mn4 4+V4O17(OAc)2(H2O)(OH)]1-, we scrutinized multiple pathways to find that water oxidation proceeds via a sequential proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), O-O bond formation, another PCET, an intramolecular electron transfer, and another PCET resulting in O2 evolution, with a predicted thermodynamic overpotential of 0.71 V. An in-depth investigation of the O-O bond formation process revealed an essential interplay between redox isomerism and Jahn-Teller effects, responsible for enhancing reactivity in the catalytic cycle. This is achieved by redistributing electrons between metal centers and weakening relevant bonds through Jahn-Teller distortions, introducing flexibility to the otherwise rigid cubane core of the catalyst. These mechanistic insights are expected to advance the design of efficient bioinspired Mn cubane water-splitting catalysts.

Abstract
With a view to developing multimetallic molecular catalysts that mimic the oxygen-evolving catalyst (OEC) in Nature's photosystem II, the synthesis of various dicubanoid manganese clusters is described and their catalytic activity investigated for water oxidation in basic, aqueous solution. Pyridinemethanol-based ligands are known to support polynuclear and cubanoid structures in manganese coordination chemistry. The chelators 2,6-pyridinedimethanol (H2 L1 ) and 6-methyl-2-pyridinemethanol (HL2 ) were chosen to yield polynuclear manganese complexes; namely, the tetranuclear defective dicubanes [MnII 2 MnIII 2 (HL1 )4 (OAc)4 (OMe)2 ] and [MnII 2 MnIII 2 (HL1 )6 (OAc)2 ] (OAc)2 ⋅2 H2 O, as well as the octanuclear-dicubanoid [MnII 6 MnIII 2 (L2 )4 (O)2 (OAc)10 (HOMe/OH2 )2 ]⋅3MeOH⋅MeCN. In freshly prepared solutions, polynuclear species were detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, whereas X-band electron paramagnetic resonance studies in dilute, liquid solution suggested the presence of divalent mononuclear Mn species with g values of 2. However, the magnetochemical investigation of the complexes' solutions by the Evans technique confirmed a haphazard combination of manganese coordination complexes, from mononuclear to polynuclear species. Subsequently, the newly synthesized and characterized manganese molecular complexes were employed as precursors to prepare electrode-deposited films in a buffer-free solution to evaluate and compare their stability and catalytic activity for water oxidation electrocatalysis.

Abstract
As a part of photocatalytic water splitting, the design of low-cost, high-activity catalysts plays an essential role in the development of photocatalytic water splitting. Metal oxides have the advantages of a wide range of sources, many varieties, and easy preparation. Doping engineering on their surface can construct new active sites and adjust their catalytic activity. In this work, a new strategy was developed through anion hybridization to regulate electron delocalization. Using one of the cobalt-based zeolitic imidazole skeletons (ZIF-67) as a precursor material, a two-step calcination method was used to prepare a P-doped Co3O4 mixed anion composite photocatalyst. The hydrogen production rate of P@Co3O4 is 39 times that of ZIF-67 and 6.8 times that of Co3O4. Through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the electron delocalization state of the sample surface is predicted and the reaction energy barrier is reduced to promote the process of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The special O(δ-)-Co(δ+)-P(δ-) surface bonding state promotes the bridging of isolated electronic states and provides active sites for the adsorption and activation of reaction substrates. The improved electron transport pathway and the synergy between the catalytic sites under the high electron transport rate are the main reasons for the enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. This strategy, including changing the surface bond state and optimizing the structure and composition of the catalyst not only provides a new method for preparing other MOF-derived nanomaterials with porous structures but also inspires the reasonable development of other MOF-based advanced photocatalysts.

Abstract
The oxygen-evolving center (OEC) in photosynthesis is a unique biological Mn4CaO5 cluster catalyzing the water-splitting reaction. A great current challenge is to achieve a robust and precise mimic of the OEC in the laboratory. Herein, we report synthetic Mn4XO4 clusters (X = calcium, yttrium, gadolinium) that closely resemble the OEC with regard to the main metal-oxide core and peripheral ligands, as well as the oxidation states of the four Mn ions and the redox potential of the cluster. We demonstrate that rare-earth elements can structurally replace the calcium in neutral Mn4XO4 clusters. All three Mn4XO4 clusters with different redox-inactive metal ions display essentially the same redox properties, challenging the conventional view that the Lewis acidity of the redox-inactive metal ions could modulate the redox potential of the heteronuclear-oxide clusters. The new synthetic rare-earth element-containing Mn4XO4 clusters reported here provide robust and structurally well-defined chemical models and shed new light on the design of new water-splitting catalysts in artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
In photosynthesis, the protein-bound natural oxygen-evolving center (OEC) undergoes multiple oxidation-state transitions in the light-driven water splitting reactions with a stepwise change in the oxidation potential. Because the protein is vulnerable to electrochemical oxidation, the multiple oxidation/reduction-state transitions can hardly be achieved by electrochemical oxidation with a continuous change in the oxidation potential. An OEC mimic that can undergo four redox transitions has been synthesized (Zhang, C., Science, 2015, 348, 690-693). Here we report an electrochemical FTIR spectroscopic study of this synthetic complex at its multiple oxidation states in the low-frequency region for Mn-O bonds. Compared with those of the native OEC induced by pulsed laser flashes, our results also show the existence of two structural isomers in the S2 state, with the closed cubane conformer being more stable than the open cubane conformer, in contrast to that of the native OEC in which the open form is more stable.

Abstract
Fundamental understanding of the nature of active sites in real-life water gas shift (WGS) catalysts that can convert CO and H2O into CO2 and H2 is crucial to engineer related catalysts performing under ambient conditions. Herein, we identified that the WGS reaction can be, in principle, catalyzed by rhodium-manganese oxide clusters Rh2MnO1,2- in the gas phase at room temperature. This is the first example of the construction of such a potential catalysis in cluster science because it is challenging to discover clusters that can abstract the oxygen from H2O and then supply the anchored oxygen to oxidize CO. The WGS reaction was characterized by mass spectrometry, photoelectron spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations. The coordinated oxygen in Rh2MnO1,2- is paramount for the generation of an electron-rich Mn+-Rh- bond that is critical to capture and reduce H2O and giving rise to a polarized Rh+-Rh- bond that functions as the real redox center to drive the WGS reaction.

Abstract
The catalytic tetranuclear manganese-calcium-oxo cluster in the photosynthetic reaction center, photosystem II, provides an excellent blueprint for light-driven water oxidation in nature. The water oxidation reaction has attracted intense interest due to its potential as a renewable, clean, and environmentally benign source of energy production. Inspired by the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II, a large of number of highly innovative synthetic bio-inspired molecular catalysts are being developed that incorporate relatively cheap and abundant metals such as Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu, as well as Ru and Ir, in their design. In this review, we briefly discuss the historic milestones that have been achieved in the development of transition metal catalysts and focus on a detailed description of recent progress in the field.

Abstract
Redox-inactive metal ions play vital roles in biological O2 activation and oxidation reactions of various substrates. Recently, we showed a distinct reactivity of a peroxocobalt(III) complex bearing a tetradentate macrocyclic ligand, [CoIII(TBDAP)(O2)]+ (1) (TBDAP = N,N'-di-tert-butyl-2,11-diaza[3.3](2,6)pyridinophane), toward nitriles that afforded a series of hydroximatocobalt(III) complexes, [CoIII(TBDAP)(R-C(═NO)O)]+ (R = Me (3), Et, and Ph). In this study, we report the effects of redox-inactive metal ions on nitrile activation of 1. In the presence of redox-inactive metal ions such as Zn2+, La3+, Lu3+, and Y3+, the reaction does not form the hydroximatocobalt(III) complex but instead gives peroxyimidatocobalt(III) complexes, [CoIII(TBDAP)(R-C(═NH)O2)]2+ (R = Me (2) and Ph (2Ph)). These new intermediates were characterized by various physicochemical methods including X-ray diffraction analysis. The rates of the formation of 2 are found to correlate with the Lewis acidity of the additive metal ions. Moreover, complex 2 was readily converted to 3 by the addition of a base. In the presence of Al3+, Sc3+, or H+, 1 is converted to [CoIII(TBDAP)(O2H)(MeCN)]2+ (4), and further reaction with nitriles did not occur. These results reveal that the reactivity of the peroxocobalt(III) complex 1 in nitrile activation can be regulated by the redox-inactive metal ions and their Lewis acidity. DFT calculations show that the redox-inactive metal ions stabilize the peroxo character of end-on Co-η1-O2 intermediate through the charge reorganization from a CoII-superoxo to a CoIII-peroxo intermediate. A complete mechanistic model explaining the role of the Lewis acid is presented.

Abstract
With the increase in gas population, the demand for clean and renewable energy is increasing. Hydrogen energy has a high combustion conversion energy while water is its combustion product. In recent years, a way to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen has been found by human beings inspired by plant photosynthesis. However, water decomposition consumes a significant amount of energy and is expensive. People expect to obtain a water decomposition catalyst with low cost and high efficiency. This work selected a six-manganese containing polyoxometalate with a similar structure characteristic to photosynthesizing PSII to fabricate with graphite C3N4 nanosheets for the construction of composite film (Mn6SiW/g-C3N4NSs) electrode via layer by layer self-assembly technology, which was used for the photo-electrochemical decomposition of water under visible light conditions. The binary composite film electrode displayed good catalytic efficiency. The photoelectric density of the composite electrode is 46 μA/cm2 (at 1.23 V vs. Ag/AgCl) and 239 μA/cm2 (at 1.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl). Compared with the g-C3N4NSs electrode alone, the photoelectric density of the composite electrode increased by 1 time. The reason is attributed to the fact that Mn6SiW has a similar structure characteristic to photosynthesizing PSII and high electron transferability. The construction of the composite film containing low-cost Mn6SiW to modify g-C3N4NSs can effectively improve the photocatalytic decomposition of water, thus this study provides valuable reference information for the development of low-cost and high-performance photo-electrocatalytic materials.

Abstract
Understanding metal-water interactions and hydrogen-bonding in water droplets is important but highly challenging. Various transition metals may serve as effective coordination centers to water; however, not in all cases is water bonded to a metal center as single molecules. We report here the observations of gas-phase rhodium clusters and their interactions with water. A series of rhodium-water clusters, Rhn±,0(H2O)m (n = 3-30, m = 1-5), with isotope labels were detected by mass spectrometry after exposure to different water concentrations, among which Rh8+(H2O)4 and Rh9+(H2O)3 were prominent in the mass distributions, showing a size-dependent preference of water adsorption on rhodium clusters. Comprehensive density functional theory calculations reveal that the lowest energy structure of Rh9+(H2O)3 possesses a hydrogen-bonded cyclic (H2O)3 water trimer on the top of a tri-capped Rh9+ trigonal prism. The tri-capped Rh9+ trigonal prism and the cyclic (H2O)3 water trimer match in sizes, charge distributions, and orbital symmetries to form effective electrostatic cluster-cluster interactions. In contrast, Rh8+(H2O)4 contains four water molecules separately attached to a bi-capped octahedron, Rh8+, at four corners via single-molecule adsorption. The difference between covalent molecular adsorption and electrostatic cluster-cluster interaction in these two proto-typical rhodium hydrates is further demonstrated by detailed natural bonding orbital, electrostatic surface potential, and charge decomposition analyses.

Abstract
We report the single crystal XRD and MicroED structure, magnetic susceptibility, and EPR data of a series of CaMn3 IV O4 and YMn3 IV O4 complexes as structural and spectroscopic models of the cuboidal subunit of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC). The effect of changes in heterometal identity, cluster geometry, and bridging oxo protonation on the spin-state structure was investigated. In contrast to previous computational models, we show that the spin ground state of CaMn3 IV O4 complexes and variants with protonated oxo moieties need not be S=9/2. Desymmetrization of the pseudo-C3 -symmetric Ca(Y)Mn3 IV O4 core leads to a lower S=5/2 spin ground state. The magnitude of the magnetic exchange coupling is attenuated upon oxo protonation, and an S=3/2 spin ground state is observed in CaMn3 IV O3 (OH). Our studies complement the observation that the interconversion between the low-spin and high-spin forms of the S2 state is pH-dependent, suggesting that the (de)protonation of bridging or terminal oxygen atoms in the OEC may be connected to spin-state changes.

Abstract
The four-electron oxidation of water (2H2O → O2 + 4H+ + 4e-) is considered the main bottleneck in artificial photosynthesis. In nature, this reaction is catalysed by a Mn4CaO5 cluster embedded in the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II. Ruthenium-based complexes have been successful artificial molecular catalysts for mimicking this reaction. However, for practical and large-scale applications in the future, molecular catalysts that contain earth-abundant first-row transition metal ions are preferred owing to their high natural abundance, low risk of depletion, and low costs. In this review, the frontier of water oxidation reactions mediated by first-row transition metal complexes is described. Special attention is paid towards the design of molecular structures of the catalysts and their reaction mechanisms, and these factors are expected to serve as guiding principles for creating efficient and robust molecular catalysts for water oxidation using ubiquitous elements.

Abstract
Understanding the reactivity landscape for the activation of water until the formation of the O-O bond and O2 release in molecular chemistry is a decisive step in guiding the elaboration of cost-effective catalysts for the oxygen-evolving reaction (OER). Copper(II) complexes have recently caught the attention of chemists as catalysts for the 4e-/4H+ water oxidation process. While a copper(IV) intermediate has been proposed as the reactive intermediate species, no spectroscopic signature has been reported so far. Copper(III) ligand radical species have also been formulated and supported by theoretical studies. We found, herein, that the reactivity sequence for the water oxidation with a family of Copper(II) o-phenylene bis-oxamidate complexes is a function of the substitution pattern on the periphery of the aromatic ring. In-situ EPR, FTIR, and rR spectroelectrochemical studies helped to sequence the elementary electrochemical and chemical events leading toward the O2 formation selectively at the copper center. EPR and FTIR spectroelectrochemistry suggests that ligand-centered oxidations are preferred over metal-centered oxidations. rR spectroelectrochemical study revealed the accumulation of a bis-imine bound copper(II) superoxide species, as the reactive intermediate, under catalytic turnover, which provides the evidence for the O-O bond formation during OER.

Abstract
Gas-phase ion-trap reactivity experiments and density functional simulations reveal that water oxidation to H2O2 mediated by (calcium) manganese oxide clusters proceeds via formation of a terminal oxyl radical followed by oxyl/hydroxy O-O coupling. This mechanism is predicted to be energetically feasible for Mn2Oy+ (y = 2-4) and the binary CaMn3O4+, in agreement with the experimental observations. In contrast, the reaction does not proceed for the tetramanganese oxides Mn4Oy+ (y = 4-6) under these experimental conditions. This is attributed to the high fluxionality of the tetramanganese clusters, resulting in the instability of the terminal oxyl radical as well as an energetically unfavorable change of the spin state required for H2O2 formation. Ca doping, yielding a symmetry-broken lower-symmetry three-dimensional (3D) CaMn3O4+ cluster, results in structural stabilization of the oxyl radical configuration, accompanied by a favorable coupling between potential energy surfaces with different spin states, thus enabling the cluster-mediated water oxidation reaction and H2O2 formation.

Abstract
Photosystem II (PSII) contains Ca2+, which is essential to the oxygen-evolving activity of the catalytic Mn4CaO5 complex. Replacement of Ca2+ with other redox-inactive metals results in a loss/decrease of oxygen-evolving activity. To investigate the role of Ca2+ in this catalytic reaction, we investigate artificial Mn3[M]O2 clusters redox-inactive metals [M] ([M] = Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Sr2+, and Y3+), which were synthesized by Tsui et al. (Nat Chem 5:293, 2013). The experimentally measured redox potentials (Em) of these clusters are best described by the energy of their highest occupied molecular orbitals. Quantum chemical calculations showed that the valence of metals predominantly affects Em(MnIII/IV), whereas the ionic radius of metals affects Em(MnIII/IV) only slightly.

Abstract
We report on the isolation of a new family of μ-carboxylato-bridged metallocrown (MC) compounds by self-assembly of the recently isolated hexadentate tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine ligand tpada2- incorporating two carboxylate units with metal cations. Twelve-membered MCs of manganese of the type 12-MC-3, namely, [{MnII(tpada)}3(M)(H2O)n]2+ (Mn3M) (M = Mn2+ (n = 0), Ca2+ (n = 1), or Sr2+ (n = 2)), were structurally characterized. The metallamacrocycles connectivity consisting in three -[Mn-O-C-O]- repeating units is provided by one carboxylate unit of the three tpada2- ligands, while the second carboxylate coordinated a fourth cation in the central cavity of the MC, Mn2+ or an alkaline earth metal, Ca2+ or Sr2+. Mn3Ca and {Mn3Sr}2 join the small family of heterometallic manganese-calcium complexes and even rarer manganese-strontium complexes as models of the OEC of photosystem II (PSII). A 8-MC-4 of strontium of the molecular wheel type with four -[Sr-O]- repeating unit was also isolated by self-assembly of the tpada2- ligand with Sr2+. This complex, namely, [Sr(tpada)(OH2)]4 (Sr4), does not incorporate any cation in the central cavity but instead four water molecules coordinated to each Sr2+. Electrochemical investigations coupled to UV-visible absorption and EPR spectroscopies as well as electrospray mass spectrometry reveal the stability of the 12-MC-3 tetranuclear structures in solution, both in the initial oxidation state, MnII3M, as well as in the three-electrons oxidized state, MnIII3M. Indeed, the cyclic voltammogram of all these complexes exhibits three-successive reversible oxidation waves between +0.5 and +0.9 V corresponding to the successive one-electron oxidation of the Mn(II) ion into Mn(III) of the three {Mn(tpada)} units constituting the ring, which are fully maintained after bulk electrolysis.

Abstract
The tetramanganese–calcium cluster of the oxygen‐evolving complex of photosystem II adopts electronically and magnetically distinct but interconvertible valence isomeric forms in its first light‐driven oxidized catalytic state, S2. This bistability is implicated in gating the final catalytic states preceding O−O bond formation, but it is unknown how the biological system enables its emergence and controls its effect. Here we show that the Mn4CaO5 cluster in the resting (dark‐stable) S1 state adopts orientational Jahn–Teller isomeric forms arising from a directional change in electronic configuration of the “dangler” MnIII ion. The isomers are consistent with available structural data and explain previously unresolved electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic observations on the S1 state. This unique isomerism in the resting state is shown to be the electronic origin of valence isomerism in the S2 state, establishing a functional role of orientational Jahn–Teller isomerism unprecedented in biological or artificial catalysis.

Abstract
Two biologically inspired tetranuclear nickel complexes [Ni4(L-H)4(CH3COO)3]·Cl (1) and [Ni4(L-H)4(CH3COO)4]·2CH3OH (2) (L = di(pyridin-2-yl)methanediol) have been synthesized and investigated by a combination of X-ray crystallography, PXRD, electrochemistry, in-situ UV-Vis spectroelectrochemistry and DLS. Both of the two complexes feature a core composed of four Ni(II) ions with the same peripheral ligation provided by the anionic di(pyridin-2-yl)methanediol and MeCOO- ligands. Whereas, complex 1 possesses one distorted cubane-like [Ni4(µ3-O)4] core, while 2 has one extended butterfly-like [Ni4(µ3-O)2] core. The homogeneous electrocatalytic reactivity of the two water-soluble complexes for water oxidation have been thoroughly studied, which demonstrates that both of them can efficiently electrocatalyze water oxidation with high stability under alkaline conditions, at relatively low over-potentials (η) of 420-790 mV for 1 and 390-780 mV for 2, both in the pH range of 7.67-12.32, with the high TOF of about 139 s-1 (1) and 69 s-1 (2) at pH = 12.32, respectively. By a series of comparative experiments for complexes 1 and 2, we proposed that their crystal geometries play an important role in their electrocatalytic reactivity for water oxidation. We verified that biomimetic cubane geometry could promote OER catalysis with two very similar compounds for the first time. Compared with 2, the biomimetic cubane topology of 1 could promote OER catalysis by facilitating efficient charge delocalization and electron-transfer.

Abstract
The dinuclear iron complex [(H2O)-FeIII-(ppq)-O-(ppq)-FeIII-Cl]3+ (FeIII(ppq), ppq = 2-(pyrid-2'-yl)-8-(1″,10″-phenanthrolin-2″-yl)-quinoline) demonstrates a catalytic activity about one order of magnitude higher than the mononuclear iron complex [Cl-FeIII(dpa)-Cl]+ (FeIII(dpa), dpa = N,N-di(1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)-N-isopentylamine) for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the mechanism behind such an unusually high activity has remained largely unclear. To solve this puzzle, a decomposition-and-reaction mechanism is proposed for the OER with the dinuclear FeIII(ppq) complex as the initial state of the catalytic agent. In this mechanism, the high-valent dinuclear iron complex first dissociates into two mononuclear moieties, and the oxidized mononuclear iron complexes directly catalyze the formation of an O-O bond through a nitrate attack pathway with nitrate functioning as a cocatalyst. Density functional theory calculations reveal that it is the electron-deficient microenvironment around the iron center that gives rise to the remarkable catalytic activity observed experimentally. Therefore, the outstanding performance of the FeIII(ppq) catalyst can be ascribed to the high reactivity of its mononuclear moieties in a high oxidation state, which is concomitant with the structural stability of the low-valent dinuclear complex. The theoretical insights provided by this study could be useful for the optimization and design of novel iron-based water oxidation catalysts.

Abstract
In recent years, due to the impact of global warming, environmental pollution, and the energy crisis, international attention and demand for clean energy are increasing. Hydrogen energy is recognized as one of the clean energy sources. Water is considered as the largest potential supplier of hydrogen energy. However, artificial catalytic water splitting for hydrogen and oxygen evolution has not been widely used due to its high energy consumption and high cost during catalytic cracking. Therefore, the exploitation of photocatalysts, electrocatalysts, and photo-electrocatalysts for rapid, cost effective, and reliable water splitting is essentially needed. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are regarded as the potential candidates for water splitting catalysis. In addition to their excellent catalytic properties and reversibly redox activities, POMs can also modify semiconductors to overcome their shortcomings, and improve photoelectric conversion efficiency and photocatalytic activity, which has attracted more and more attention in the field of photoelectric water splitting catalysis. In this review, we summarize the latest applications of POMs and semiconductor composites in the field of photo-electrocatalysis (PEC) for hydrogen and oxygen evolution by catalytic water splitting in recent years and take the latest applications of POMs and semiconductor composites in photocatalysis for water splitting. In the conclusion section, the challenges and strategies of photocatalytic and PEC water-splitting by POMs and semiconductor composites are discussed.

Abstract
Seven new bis(μ-oxo)dimanganese complexes with Mn2(iii,iii) or Mn2(iii,iv) oxidation states were prepared using quinoline- and isoquinoline-based tetraamine ligands. The structures of the ligands include ethylenediamine, trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine and tripodal amine, bearing two or three nitrogen-containing heteroaromatics. Regardless of the skeleton and number of aliphatic nitrogen atoms in the ligands, quinoline complexes stabilize the Mn2(iii,iii) oxidation state, whereas, isoquinoline ligands afford Mn2(iii,iv) complexes. A systematic comparison of the differences in structural parameters and redox potentials of a total of 14 complexes with a (μ-O)2Mn2 diamond core, which includes corresponding pyridine and quinoxaline derivatives as supporting ligands, highlights the distinct deviation of quinoline and tripodal amine motifs in this ligand series.

Abstract
Here we report for the first time soluble lanthanide-transition-metal clusters Ln36Co12 (Ln = Eu, Gd and Dy) as effective homogeneous water oxidation electrocatalysts. The stable 48-metal Ln36Co12 clusters show an effective water oxidation activity under acidic conditions because of the synergistic effect between lanthanide and transition metals in O-O bond formation.

Abstract
The formidable reactivity of the oxygen-evolving center near photosystem II is largely based on its protein environment that stabilizes it during catalysis. Inspired by this concept, the water-soluble Mn12 clusters Mn12 O12 (O2 CC6 H3 (OH)2 )16 (H2 O)4 (3,5DHMn12 ) and Mn12 O12 (O2 CC6 H3 (OH)3 )16 (H2 O)4 (3,4,5THMn12 ) were developed as efficient electrocatalysts for water oxidation. In this work, the role of the -OH groups in the electrocatalytic process was explored by describing the structural and electrocatalytic properties of two new Mn12 clusters, 3,4DHMn12 and 2,3DHMn12 , having one -OH group in the meta position relative to the benzoate-Mn moiety, and one at the para or ortho position, respectively. The Mn centers in 3,4DHMn12 were discovered to have lower oxidation potential compared with those in 2,3DHMn12 , and thus, 3,4DHMn12 can catalyze water oxidation with higher rate and TON than 2,3DHMn12 . Hence, the role of the -OH groups in the electrocatalysis was established, being involved in electronic stabilization of the Mn centers or in proton shuttling.

Abstract
Inspired by the highly efficient water oxidation of Mn4CaO5 in natural photosynthesis, development of novel artificial water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) with structure and function mimicked has inspired extensive interests. A novel 3D cobalt-based MOF (GXY-L8-Co) was synthesized for promising artificial water oxidation by employing the Co4O4 quasi-cubane motifs with a similar structure as the Mn4CaO5 as the core. The GXY-L8-Co not only shows good chemical stability in common organic solvents or water for up to 10 days but also exhibits oxygen evolution performance. It has been demonstrated that the uniform distribution of Co4O4 catalytic active sites confined in the MOF framework should be responsible for the good robustness and catalytic performance.

Abstract
A series of pentametallic "cubane-plus-dangler" complexes have been target synthesized. Among them, the [Fe3Ni2] aggregate strongly resembled the native oxygen-evolving center by mimicking the "cubane-plus-dangler" skeleton, the aqua binding site, and the connectivity between the pendent ion and the parent cubane. Our synthetic strategy that uses tri-substituted methanol as the "cubane-generator" and carboxylate as the pendant ligand provides a feasible approach for accessing model compounds of biological catalyst systems.
