Abstract
Replacing fossil fuels with energy sources and carriers that are sustainable, environmentally benign, and affordable is amongst the most pressing challenges for future socio-economic development. To that goal, hydrogen is presumed to be the most promising energy carrier. Electrocatalytic water splitting, if driven by green electricity, would provide hydrogen with minimal CO2 footprint. The viability of water electrolysis still hinges on the availability of durable earth-abundant electrocatalyst materials and the overall process efficiency. This review spans from the fundamentals of electrocatalytically initiated water splitting to the very latest scientific findings from university and institutional research, also covering specifications and special features of the current industrial processes and those processes currently being tested in large-scale applications. Recently developed strategies are described for the optimisation and discovery of active and durable materials for electrodes that ever-increasingly harness first-principles calculations and machine learning. In addition, a technoeconomic analysis of water electrolysis is included that allows an assessment of the extent to which a large-scale implementation of water splitting can help to combat climate change. This review article is intended to cross-pollinate and strengthen efforts from fundamental understanding to technical implementation and to improve the 'junctions' between the field's physical chemists, materials scientists and engineers, as well as stimulate much-needed exchange among these groups on challenges encountered in the different domains.

Abstract
The utilization of earth-abundant low-toxicity metal ions in the construction of highly active and efficient molecular catalysts promoting the water oxidation reaction is important for developing a sustainable artificial energy cycle. However, the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of the currently available molecular water oxidation catalysts (MWOCs) have not been comprehensively investigated. This Review summarizes the current status of MWOCs based on first-row transition metals in terms of their turnover frequency (TOF, a kinetic property) and overpotential (η, a thermodynamic property) and uses the relationship between log(TOF) and η to assess catalytic performance. Furthermore, the effects of the same ligand classes on these MWOCs are discussed in terms of TOF and η, and vice versa. The collective analysis of these relationships provides a metric for the direct comparison of catalyst systems and identifying factors crucial for catalyst design.

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
![]()
The complex α-[Fe(mcp)(OTf)2] (mcp = N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine
and OTf
= trifluoromethanesulfonate anion) was reported in 2011 by some of
us as an active water oxidation (WO) catalyst in the presence of sacrificial
oxidants. However, because chemical oxidants are likely to take part
in the reaction mechanism, mechanistic electrochemical studies are
critical in establishing to what extent previous studies with sacrificial
reagents have actually been meaningful. In this study, the complex
α-[Fe(mcp)(OTf)2] and its analogues were investigated
electrochemically under both acidic and neutral conditions. All the
systems under investigation proved to be electrochemically active
toward the WO reaction, with no major differences in activity despite
the structural changes. Our findings show that WO-catalyzed by mcp–iron
complexes proceeds via homogeneous species, whereas the analogous
manganese complex forms a heterogeneous deposit on the electrode surface.
Mechanistic studies show that the reaction proceeds with a different
rate-determining step (rds) than what was previously proposed in the
presence of chemical oxidants. Moreover, the different kinetic isotope
effect (KIE) values obtained electrochemically at pH 7 (KIE ∼
10) and at pH 1 (KIE = 1) show that the reaction conditions have a
remarkable effect on the rds and on the mechanism. We suggest a proton-coupled
electron transfer (PCET) as the rds under neutral conditions, whereas
at pH 1 the rds is most likely an electron transfer (ET).

Abstract
This work elucidates the reactivity of water molecules toward the tridentate nitrogen-containing iron complex in the water oxidation process. Here, we consider the FeV-bisoxo complex {[FeV(Me3tacn)(OH2)(═O)2]+} to be responsible for the oxygen-oxygen bond formation. This O-O bond formation happens through the addition of water as a nucleophile. The transition state was determined by the synchronous transit-guided quasi-Newton method using reactants and products and verified by intrinsic reaction coordinates (IRCs). From the IRC calculations, we observe that the FeV═O moiety is attacked by water and assisted by the H-bonded interaction with the oxygen atom of the bisoxo complex. The hydrogen atom is transferred to the oxygen atom of the bisoxo complex through the transition state, and subsequently, the hydroxide is transferred to another oxygen of the bisoxo complex, resulting in the formation of the oxygen-oxygen bond. This work also explains the effect of explicit water molecules on the oxygen-oxygen bond formation. Our results also show how the formation of superoxide plays an essential role in O2 evolution. We used the potential energy scan method to compute the transition state in the oxygen evolution step. In the present work, we study the effect of chlorine on the formation of the oxygen-oxygen bond formation. In this study, the changes in the oxidation state, spin density, and spin multiplicity of the complexes are investigated for each successive step. Apart from these static theoretical calculations, we also studied the oxygen-oxygen bond formation through first-principles molecular dynamics with the aid of the well-tempered metadynamics sampling technique. From the observation of the free energy surfaces from metadynamics simulations, it is evident that the hydroxide transfer has a lesser free energetic reaction as compared to the proton transfer. This complete mechanistic study may give an idea to design a suitable water oxidation catalyst.

Abstract
Iron complexes are particularly interesting as catalyst systems over the other transition metals (including noble metals) due to iron’s high natural abundance and mediation in important biological processes, therefore making them non-toxic, cost-effective, and biocompatible. Both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis mediated by iron as a transition metal have found applications in many industries, including oxidation, C-C bond formation, hydrocarboxylation and dehydration, hydrogenation and reduction reactions of low molecular weight molecules. These processes provided substrates for industrial-scale use, e.g., switchable materials, sustainable and scalable energy storage technologies, drugs for the treatment of cancer, and high molecular weight polymer materials with a predetermined structure through controlled radical polymerization techniques. This review provides a detailed statement of the utilization of homogeneous and heterogeneous iron-based catalysts for the synthesis of both low and high molecular weight molecules with versatile use, focusing on receiving functional materials with high potential for industrial application.

Abstract
Molecular catalysis plays an essential role in both natural and artificial photosynthesis (AP). However, the field of molecular catalysis for AP has gradually declined in recent years because of doubt about the long-term stability of molecular-catalyst-based devices. This review summarizes the development history of molecular-catalyst-based AP, including the fundamentals of AP, molecular catalysts for water oxidation, proton reduction and CO2 reduction, and molecular-catalyst-based AP devices, and it provides an analysis of the advantages, challenges, and stability of molecular catalysts. With this review, we aim to highlight the following points: (i) an investigation on molecular catalysis is one of the most promising ways to obtain atom-efficient catalysts with outstanding intrinsic activities; (ii) effective heterogenization of molecular catalysts is currently the primary challenge for the application of molecular catalysis in AP devices; (iii) development of molecular catalysts is a promising way to solve the problems of catalysis involved in practical solar fuel production. In molecular-catalysis-based AP, much has been attained, but more challenges remain with regard to long-term stability and heterogenization techniques.

Abstract
A new charge-neutral Ru(iii) complex RuL(pic)3 (1) (H3L = 3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazole-1,8-dicarboxylic acid, pic = 4-picoline) was synthesized and fully characterized. This complex promoted chemical and photochemical water oxidation efficiently with turnover frequencies of 0.28 s-1 and 5 min-1, respectively. In particular, for photochemical water oxidation, complex 1 showed excellent stability and good activity. The X-ray crystal structure, electrochemical results, and the detection of the RuIV-OH intermediate by high-resolution mass spectrometry revealed that complex 1 exchanged its 4-picoline ligand with water at the RuIII state to form the authentic water oxidation catalyst. The kinetics studies suggested a reaction mechanism involving nucleophilic attack by a water molecule.

The
synthesis, characterization, and electrochemical studies of
the dinuclear complex [(MeOH)Fe(Hbbpya)-μ-O-(Hbbpya)Fe(MeOH)](OTf)4 (1) (with Hbbpya = N,N-bis(2,2′-bipyrid-6-yl)amine)
are described. With the help of online electrochemical mass spectrometry,
the complex is demonstrated to be active as a water oxidation catalyst.
Comparing the results obtained for different electrode materials shows
a clear substrate influence of the electrode, as the complex shows
a significantly lower catalytic overpotential on graphitic working
electrodes in comparison to other electrode materials. Cyclic voltammetry
experiments provide evidence that the structure of complex 1 undergoes reversible changes under high-potential conditions, regenerating
the original structure of complex 1 upon returning to
lower potentials. Results from electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance
experiments rule out that catalysis proceeds via deposition of catalytically
active material on the electrode surface.

Abstract
Macrocyclic nickel(ii) complexes with axially oriented methyl groups can impose a steric effect on the axial position of the in situ formed NiIII center, which results in higher NiIII/II oxidation potentials and suppresses the axial coordination of phosphate anions with the NiIII center.

Abstract
A new family of ruthenium complexes based on the N-pentadentate ligand Py2 (Me) tacn (N-methyl-N',N''-bis(2-picolyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) has been synthesised and its catalytic activity has been studied in the water-oxidation (WO) reaction. We have used chemical oxidants (ceric ammonium nitrate and NaIO4 ) to generate the WO intermediates [Ru(II) (OH2 )(Py2 (Me) tacn)](2+) , [Ru(III) (OH2 )(Py2 (Me) tacn)](3+) , [Ru(III) (OH)(Py2 (Me) tacn)](2+) and [Ru(IV) (O)(Py2 (Me) tacn)](2+) , which have been characterised spectroscopically. Their relative redox and pH stability in water has been studied by using UV/Vis and NMR spectroscopies, HRMS and spectroelectrochemistry. [Ru(IV) (O)(Py2 (Me) tacn)](2+) has a long half-life (>48 h) in water. The catalytic cycle of WO has been elucidated by using kinetic, spectroscopic, (18) O-labelling and theoretical studies, and the conclusion is that the rate-determining step is a single-site water nucleophilic attack on a metal-oxo species. Moreover, [Ru(IV) (O)(Py2 (Me) tacn)](2+) is proposed to be the resting state under catalytic conditions. By monitoring Ce(IV) consumption, we found that the O2 evolution rate is redox-controlled and independent of the initial concentration of Ce(IV) . Based on these facts, we propose herein that [Ru(IV) (O)(Py2 (Me) tacn)](2+) is oxidised to [Ru(V) (O)(Py2 (Me) tacn)](2+) prior to attack by a water molecule to give [Ru(III) (OOH)(Py2 (Me) tacn)](2+) . Finally, it is shown that the difference in WO reactivity between the homologous iron and ruthenium [M(OH2 )(Py2 (Me) tacn)](2+) (M=Ru, Fe) complexes is due to the difference in the redox stability of the key M(V) (O) intermediate. These results contribute to a better understanding of the WO mechanism and the differences between iron and ruthenium complexes in WO reactions.

Abstract
Two Kagóme cobalt(II)-organic layers of [Co3 (μ3 -OH)2 (bdc)2 ]n (1) and [Co3 (μ3 -OH)2 (chdc)2 ]n (2) (bdc=o-benzenedicarboxylate and chdc=1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) that bear bridging OH(-) ligands were explored as water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) for photocatalytic O2 production. The activities of 1 and 2 towards H2 O oxidation were assessed by monitoring the in situ O2 concentration versus time in the reaction medium by utilizing a Clark-type oxygen electrode under photochemical conditions. The oxygen evolution rate (RO2 ) was 24.3 μmol s(-1) g(-1) for 1 and 48.8 μmol s(-1) g(-1) for 2 at pH 8.0. Photocatalytic reaction studies show that 1 and 2 exhibit enhanced activities toward the oxidation of water compared to commercial nanosized Co3 O4 . In scaled-up photoreactions, the pH value of the reaction medium decreased from 8.0 to around 7.0 after 20 min and the O2 production ceased. Based on the amounts of the sacrificial oxidant (K2 S2 O8 ) used, the yield of O2 produced is 49.6 % for 2 and 29.8 % for 1. However, the catalyst can be recycled without a significant loss of catalytic activity. Spectroscopic studies suggest that the structure and composition of recycled 1 and 2 are maintained. In isotope-labeling H2 (18) O (97 % enriched) experiments, the distribution of (16) O(16) O/(16) O(18) O/(18) O(18) O detected was 0:7.55:92.45, which is comparable to the theoretical values of 0.09:5.82:94.09. This work not only provides new catalysts that resemble ligand-protected cobalt oxide materials but also establishes the significance of the existence of OH(-) (or H2 O) binding sites at the metal center in WOCs.

Abstract
The development of molecular water oxidation catalysts based on earth-abundant, non-noble metals is essential for artificial photosynthesis research. Iron, which is the most abundant transition metal in the earth's crust, is a prospective candidate for this purpose. Herein, we report two iron complexes based on the polypyridyl ligand Py5OH (Py5OH=pyridine-2,6-diylbis [di(pyridin-2-yl)methanol]) that can catalyse water oxidation to produce O2 in Ru(III) -induced (at pH 8, highest turnover number (TON)=26.5; turnover frequency (TOF)=2.2 s(-1) ), Ce(IV) -induced (at pH≈1.5 highest TON=16; TOF=0.75 s(-1) ) and photo-induced (at pH 8, highest TON=43.5; TOF=0.6 s(-1) ) reactions. A chloride ligand in one of the iron complexes is shown to affect the activity strongly, improve stability and, thereby, the performance at pH 8 but it inhibits oxygen evolution at pH≈1.5. The observations are consistent with a change in mechanism for catalytic water oxidation with the Fe(Py5OH) complexes between acidic (Ce(IV) ) and near-neutral pH (Ru(III) ).

Abstract
Water splitting, leading to hydrogen and oxygen in a process that mimics natural photosynthesis, is extremely important for devising a sustainable solar energy conversion system. Development of earth-abundant, transition metal-based catalysts that mimic the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II, which is involved in oxidation of water to O2 during natural photosynthesis, represents a major challenge. Further, understanding the exact mechanism, including elucidation of the role of active metal-oxo intermediates during water oxidation (WO), is critical to the development of more efficient catalysts. Herein, we report Fe(III) complexes of biuret-modified tetra-amidomacrocyclic ligands (Fe-TAML; 1a and 1b) that catalyze fast, homogeneous, photochemical WO to give O2, with moderate efficiency (maximum TON = 220, TOF = 0.76 s(-1)). Previous studies on photochemical WO using iron complexes resulted in demetalation of the iron complexes with concomitant formation of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) that were responsible for WO. Herein, we show for the first time that a high valent Fe(V)(O) intermediate species is photochemically generated as the active intermediate for the oxidation of water to O2. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first example of a molecular iron complex catalyzing photochemical WO through a Fe(V)(O) intermediate.

Abstract
Non-heme iron complexes were determined to serve as homogeneous water oxidation catalysts when driven with sodium periodate. Both mononuclear and dinuclear complexes were found to be active for water oxidation, with the monomeric species exhibiting higher rates.
