Abstract
Water-soluble multinuclear complexes based on ruthenium 2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxylate (bda) and ditopic bipyridine linker units are investigated in three-component visible light-driven water oxidation catalysis. Systematic studies revealed a strong enhancement of the catalytic efficiency in the absence of organic co-solvents and with increasing oligomer length. In-depth kinetic and morphological investigations suggest that the enhanced performance is induced by the self-assembly of linear Ru(bda) oligomers into aggregated superstructures. The obtained turnover frequencies (up to 14.9 s-1 ) and turnover numbers (more than 1000) per ruthenium center are the highest reported so far for Ru(bda)-based photocatalytic water oxidation systems.

Abstract
O-O bond formation with Ru(bda)L2 -type catalysts is well-known to proceed through a bimolecular reaction pathway, limiting the potential application of these catalysts at low concentrations. Herein, we achieved high efficiencies with mononuclear catalysts, with TOFs of 460±32 s-1 at high catalyst loading and 31±3 s-1 at only 1 μM catalyst concentration, by simple structural considerations on the axial ligands. Kinetic and DFT studies show that introduction of an off-set in the interaction between the two catalytic units reduces the kinetic barrier of the second-order O-O bond formation, maintaining high catalytic activity even at low catalyst concentrations. The results herein furthermore suggest that π-π interactions may only play a minor role in the observed catalytic activity, and that asymmetry can also rationalize high activity observed for Ru(bda)(isoq)2 type catalysts and offer inspiration to overcome the limitations of 2nd order catalysis.

Abstract
The storage of solar energy in chemical bonds will depend on pH-universal catalysts that are not only impervious to acid, but actually thrive in it. Whereas other homogeneous water oxidation catalysts are less active in acid, we report a catalyst that maintained high electrocatalytic turnover frequency at pH values as low as 1.1 and 0.43 (kcat =1501±608 s-1 and 831±254 s-1 , respectively). Moreover, current densities, related to catalytic reaction rates, ranged from 15 to 50 mA cm-2 mM-1 comparable to those reported for state-of-the-art heterogeneous catalysts and 30 to 100 times greater than those measured for two prominent literature homogeneous catalysts at pH 1.1 and 0.43. The catalyst also exhibited excellent durability when a chemical oxidant was used (CeIV , 7400 turnovers, TOF 0.88 s-1 ). Preliminary computational studies suggest that the unusual active-site sulfonate group acts a proton relay even in strong acid, as intended.

Abstract
In 1982, an oxo-bridged dinuclear ruthenium(III) complex, known as “blue dimer,” was discovered to be active for water oxidation. In this work, a new amphiphilic ruthenium “green dimer” 2, obtained from an amphiphilic mononuclear Ru(bda) (N-OTEG) (L1) (1; N-OTEG = 4-(2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)-pyridine; L1 = vinylpyridine) is reported. An array of mechanistic studies identifies “green dimer” 2 as a mixed valence of RuII-O-RuIII oxo-bridged structure. Bearing the same bda2- and amphiphilic axial ligands, monomer 1 and green dimer 2 can be reversibly converted by ascorbic acid and oxygen, respectively, in aqueous solution. More importantly, the oxo-bridged “green dimer” 2 was found to take water nucleophilic attack for oxygen evolution, in contrast to monomer 1 via radical coupling pathway for O-O bond formation. This is the first report of an amphiphilic oxo-bridged catalyst, which possesses a new oxygen evolution pathway of Ru-bda catalysts. Green dimer (RuII-O-RuIII), referring to “blue dimer” of RuIII-O-RuIII, is disclosed The first amphiphilic μ-oxido-bridged catalyst is reported active for water oxidation The oxo-bridged “green dimer” 2 takes water nucleophilic attack for O-O bond formation This is the first Ru-bda catalyst, which possesses a new oxygen evolution pathway
