Abstract
The heterogenization of metal-complex catalysts to be applied in water oxidation reactions is a currently growing field of great scientific impact for the development of energy conversion devices simulating the natural photosynthesis process. The attachment of IrCp*Cl complexes to the dipyridyl-pyridazine N-chelating sites on the surface of SBA-15 promotes the formation of metal bipyridine-like complexes, which can act as catalytic sites in the oxidation of water to dioxygen, the key half-reaction of artificial photosynthetic systems. The efficiency of the heterogeneous catalyst, Ir@NdppzSBA, in cerium(IV)-driven water oxidation was thoroughly evaluated, achieving high catalytic activity even at a long reaction time. The reusability and stability were also examined after three reaction cycles, with a slight loss of activity. A comparison with an analogous homogeneous iridium catalyst revealed the enhanced durability and performance of the heterogeneous system based on the Ir@NdppzSBA catalyst due to the stability of the SBA-15 structure as well as the isolated metal active sites. Thereby, this new versatile synthesis route for the preparation of water oxidation catalysts opens a new avenue for the construction of alternative heterogeneous catalytic systems with high surface area, ease of functionalization, and facile separation to improve the efficiency in the water oxidation reaction.

Abstract
The water oxidation reaction is the bottleneck problem of the artificial photosynthetic system. In this work, the mechanism of water oxidation catalyzed by a mononuclear copper complex in alkaline conditions was studied by density functional calculations. Firstly, a water molecule coordinating with the copper center of the complex (Cuii, 1) generates Cuii-H2O (2). 2 undergoes two proton-coupled electron transfer processes to produce intermediate (4). The oxidation process occurs mainly on the ligand moiety, and 4 (˙L-Cuii-O˙) can be described as a Cuii center interacting with a ligand radical antiferromagnetically and an oxyl radical ferromagnetically. 4 is the active species that can trigger O-O bond formation via the water nucleophilic attack mechanism. This process occurs in a step-wise manner. The attacking water transfers one of the protons to the HPO4 2- coupled with an electron transfer to the ligand radical, which generates a transient OH˙ interacting with the oxyl radical and H2PO4 -. Then the O-O bond is formed through the direct coupling of the oxo radical and the OH radical. The triplet di-oxygen could be released after two oxidation processes. According to the Gibbs free energy diagram, the O-O bond formation was suggested to be the rate-limiting step with a calculated total barrier of 19.5 kcal mol-1. More importantly, the copper complex catalyzing water oxidation with the help of a redox non-innocent ligand and HPO4 2- was emphasized.

Abstract
In this review, we want to explain how the burning of fossil fuels is pushing us towards green energy. Actually, for a long time, we have believed that everything is profitable, that resources are unlimited and there are no consequences. However, the reality is often disappointing. The use of non-renewable resources, the excessive waste production and the abandonment of the task of recycling has created a fragile thread that, once broken, may never restore itself. Metaphors aside, we are talking about our planet, the Earth, and its unique ability to host life, including ourselves. Our world has its balance; when the wind erodes a mountain, a beach appears, or when a fire devastates an area, eventually new life emerges from the ashes. However, humans have been distorting this balance for decades. Our evolving way of living has increased the number of resources that each person consumes, whether food, shelter, or energy; we have overworked everything to exhaustion. Scientists worldwide have already said actively and passively that we are facing one of the biggest problems ever: climate change. This is unsustainable and we must try to revert it, or, if we are too late, slow it down as much as possible. To make this happen, there are many possible methods. In this review, we investigate catalysts for using water as an energy source, or, instead of water, alcohols. On the other hand, the recycling of gases such as CO2 and N2O is also addressed, but we also observe non-catalytic means of generating energy through solar cell production.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis (AP) has been proved to be a promising way of alleviating global climate change and energy crisis. Among various materials for AP, molecular complexes play an important role due to their favorable efficiency, stability, and activity. As a result of its importance, the topic has been extensively reviewed, however, most of them paid attention to the designs and preparations of complexes and their water splitting mechanisms. In fact, ligands design and preparation also play an important role in metal complexes’ properties and catalysis performance. In this review, we focus on the ligands that are suitable for designing mononuclear catalysts for water splitting, providing a coherent discussion at the strategic level because of the availability of various activity studies for the selected complexes. Two main designing strategies for ligands in molecular catalysts, substituents modification and backbone construction, are discussed in detail in terms of their potentials for water splitting catalysts.

Abstract
Linear free energy scaling relationships (LFESRs) and regression analysis may predict the catalytic performance of heterogeneous and recently, homogenous water oxidation catalysts (WOCs). This study analyses twelve homogeneous Ru-based catalysts - some, the most active catalysts studied: the Ru(tpy-R)(QC) and Ru(tpy-R)(4-pic)2 catalysts, where tpy is 2,2:6,2-terpyridine, QC is 8-quinolinecarboxylate and 4-pic is 4-picoline. Typical relationships studied among heterogenous and solid-state catalysts cannot be broadly applied to homogeneous catalysts. This subset of structurally similar catalysts with impressive catalytic activity deserves closer computational and statistical analysis of energetics correlating with measured catalytic activity. We report general methods of LFESR analysis yield insufficiently robust relationships between descriptor variables. However, volcano plot-based analysis grounded in Sabatier's principle reveals ranges of ideal relative energies of the RuIV=O and RuIV-OH intermediates and optimal changes in free energies of water nucleophilic attack on RuV=O. A narrow range of RuIV-OH to RuV=O redox potentials corresponding with the highest catalytic activities suggests facile access to the catalytically competent high-valent RuV=O state, often inaccessible from RuIV=O. Our work introduces experimental oxygen evolution rates into approaches of LFESR and Sabatier principle-based analysis, identifying a narrow yet fertile energetic landscape to bountiful oxygen-evolution activity, leading future rational design.

Abstract
Bimetallic oxy(hydroxides) have gain great interest in water treatment systems based on adsorption processes. Their high OH groups density, in addition to inheriting the oxides properties make them highly promising adsorbents of anions. In this work, highly affine and selective bimetallic oxyhydroxides of cerium and iron (Ce:Fe-P's) for arsenic(V) were synthesized by implementing an assisted microwave methodology. The Ce:Fe-P's were characterized by various techniques (SEM, FTIR, XRD and XPS) and the As(V) adsorption capacity and kinetics as well as the effect of pH and the presence of coexisting anions were determined. The results showed that Ce:Fe-P's have an outstanding As(V) adsorption capacity (179.8 mg g-1 at Ce = 3 mg L-1) even at low concentrations (120 mg g-1 at Ce = 37 μg L-1). Moreover, the adsorption equilibrium was reached very fast, just in 3 min, with an adsorption rate of 0.123 mg min-1, that is, 80% of the initial As(V) concentration of 5 mg L-1 was removed in the first 3 min. The arsenic adsorption capacity decreased only up to 20% at pH above 7, attributed to electrostatic repulsions due to the adsorbent's pHPZC, which was 6.8. On the other hand, the arsenic adsorption capacity of Ce:Fe-P's decreased just 21% in the presence of 10 mg L-1 of each of the following competing anions: F-, Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, PO43- and CO32-, which usually coincide in contaminated water with As(V). Ce:Fe-P's has proven to be one of the most promising As(V) adsorbent materials reported so far in the literature, because it presented an outstanding adsorption capacity and at the same time a very fast adsorption speed. Furthermore, the pH and the concentration of coexisting anions caused little interference in the adsorption processes. Due to the above, the Ce:Fe-P's is already in the process of intellectual protection.

Abstract
While computational screening with first-principles density functional theory (DFT) is essential for evaluating candidate catalysts, limitations in accuracy typically prevent the prediction of experimentally relevant activities. Exemplary of these challenges are homogeneous water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) where differences in experimental conditions or small changes in ligand structure can alter rate constants by over an order of magnitude. Here, we compute mechanistically relevant electronic and energetic properties for 19 mononuclear Ru transition-metal complexes (TMCs) from three experimental water oxidation catalysis studies. We discover that 15 of these TMCs have experimental activities that correlate with a single property, the ionization potential of the Ru(II)-O2 catalytic intermediate. This scaling parameter allows the quantitative understanding of activity trends and provides insight into the rate-limiting behavior. We use this approach to rationalize differences in activity with different experimental conditions, and we qualitatively analyze the source of distinct behavior for different electronic states in the other four catalysts. Comparison to closely related single-atom catalysts and modified WOCs enables rationalization of the source of rate enhancement in these WOCs.

Abstract
Within the context of electron transfer during the catalytic water oxidation reaction, the Ir-based system is among the most active. The reaction, mimicking photosynthesis II, requires the use of an electron acceptor such the Ce4+ cation. This complex reaction, involving adsorbed water at the interface of the metal cation and Ce4+, has mostly been studied in homogenous systems. To address the ambiguity regarding the gradual transformation of a homogenous system into a heterogeneous one, we prepared and studied a heterogeneous catalyst system composed of IrO2, with a mean particle size ranging from about 5 Å to 10 Å, dispersed on a TiO2 anatase support, with the objective of probing into the different parameters of the reaction, as well as the compositional changes and rates. The system was stable for many of the runs that were conducted (five consecutive runs with 0.18 M of Ce4+ showed the same reaction rate with TON > 56,000) and, equally importantly, was stable without induction periods. Extraction of the reaction rates from the set of catalysts, with an attempt to normalize them with respect to Ir loading and, therefore, to obtain turnover frequencies (TOF), was conducted. While, within reasonable deviations, the TOF numbers extracted from TPR and XPS Ir4f were close, those extracted from the particle shape (HR-STEM) were considerably larger. The difference indicates that bulk Ir atoms contribute to the electron transfer reaction, which may indicate that the reaction rate is dominated by the reorganization energy between the redox couples involved. Therefore, the normalization of reaction rates with surface atoms may lead to an overestimation of the site activity.

Abstract
Poly (vinyl ethers) are compounds with great value in the coating industry due to exhibiting properties such as high viscosity, soft adhesiveness, resistance to saponification and solubility in water and organic solvents. However, the main challenge in this field is the synthesis of vinyl ether monomers that can be synthetized by methodologies such as vinyl transfer, reduction of vinyl phosphate ether, isomerization, hydrogenation of acetylenic ethers, elimination, addition of alcohols to alkyne species etc. Nevertheless, the most successful strategy to access to vinyl ether derivatives is the addition of alcohols to alkynes catalyzed by transition metals such as molybdenum, tungsten, ruthenium, palladium, platinum, gold, silver, iridium and rhodium, where gold-NHC catalysts have shown the best results in vinyl ether synthesis. Recently, the hydrophenoxylation reaction was found to proceed through a digold-assisted process where the species that determine the rate of the reaction are PhO-[Au(IPr)] and alkyne-[Au(IPr)]. Later, the improvement of the hydrophenoxylation reaction by using a mixed combination of Cu-NHC and Au-NHC catalysts was also reported. DFT studies confirmed a cost-effective method for the hydrophenoxylation reaction and located the rate-determining step, which turned out to be quite sensitive to the sterical hindrance due to the NHC ligands.

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
Significant advances during the past decades in the design and studies of Ru complexes with polypyridine ligands have led to the great development of molecular water oxidation catalysts and understanding on the O−O bond formation mechanisms. Here we report a Ru-based molecular water oxidation catalyst [Ru(bds)(pic)2] (Ru-bds; bds2− = 2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-disulfonate) containing a tetradentate, dianionic sulfonate ligand at the equatorial position and two 4-picoline ligands at the axial positions. This Ru-bds catalyst electrochemically catalyzes water oxidation with turnover frequencies (TOF) of 160 and 12,900 s−1 under acidic and neutral conditions respectively, showing much better performance than the state-of-art Ru-bda catalyst. Density functional theory calculations reveal that (i) under acidic conditions, the high valent Ru intermediate RuV=O featuring the 7-coordination configuration is involved in the O−O bond formation step; (ii) under neutral conditions, the seven-coordinate RuIV=O triggers the O−O bond formation; (iii) in both cases, the I2M (interaction of two M−O units) pathway is dominant over the WNA (water nucleophilic attack) pathway. Developing efficient molecular water oxidation catalysts for artificial photosynthesis is a challenging task. Here the authors introduce a ruthenium based complex with negatively charged sulfonate groups to effectively drive water oxidation under both acidic and neutral conditions.

Abstract
We report the effect of replacing the pyridine group in the chelating trz Ir-water oxidation catalysts by a benzoxazole and a thiazole moiety. We have also evaluated if the presence of bidentate ligands is crucial for high activities and to avoid the decomposition into undesired heterogeneous layers. The catalytic performance of these benzoxazole/thiazole-triazolidene Ir-complexes in water oxidation was studied at variable pH using either CAN (pH = 1) or NaIO4 (pH = 5.6 and 7). Electrocatalytic experiments indicated that while CAN-mediated water oxidation led to catalyst heterogeneization irrespective of the triazolylidene substituent, periodate as sacrificial oxidant preserved a homogeneously active species. Repetitive additions of sacrificial oxidant indicates higher integrity of the Ir-complex with a thiazole-substituted triazolylidene compared to ligands featuring a benzoxazole as chelating donor or no chelating group at all. Rigid chelation of the thiazole group was also established from stability measurements under highly acidic, oxidizing, and high ionic strength conditions.

Abstract
![]()
Electrochemical
water oxidation is the bottleneck of electrolyzers
as even the best catalysts, iridium and ruthenium oxides, have to
operate at significant overpotentials. Previously, the position of
a hydroxyl on a series of hydroxylpicolinate ligands was found to
significantly influence the activity of molecular iridium catalysts
in sacrificial oxidant driven water oxidation. In this study, these
catalysts were tested under electrochemical conditions and benchmarked
to several other known molecular iridium catalysts under the exact
same conditions. This allowed us to compare these catalysts directly
and observe whether structure–activity relationships would
prevail under electrochemical conditions. Using both electrochemical
quartz crystal microbalance experiments and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,
we found that all studied iridium complexes form an iridium deposit
on the electrode with binding energies ranging from 62.4 to 62.7 eV
for the major Ir 4f7/2 species. These do not match the
binding energies found for the parent complexes, which have a broader
binding energy range from 61.7 to 62.7 eV and show a clear relationship
to the electronegativity induced by the ligands. Moreover, all catalysts
performed the electrochemical water oxidation in the same order of
magnitude as the maximum currents ranged from 0.2 to 0.6 mA cm–2 once more without clear structure–activity
relationships. In addition, by employing 1H NMR spectroscopy
we found evidence for Cp* breakdown products such as acetate. Electrodeposited
iridium oxide from ligand free [Ir(OH)6]2– or a colloidal iridium oxide nanoparticles solution produces currents
almost 2 orders of magnitude higher with a maximum current of 11 mA
cm–2. Also, this deposited material contains, apart
from an Ir 4f7/2 species at 62.4 eV, an Ir species at 63.6
eV, which is not observed for any deposit formed by the molecular
complexes. Thus, the electrodeposited material of the complexes cannot
be directly linked to bulk iridium oxide. Small IrOx clusters
containing few Ir atoms with partially incorporated ligand residues
are the most likely option for the catalytically active electrodeposit.
Our results emphasize that structure–activity relationships
obtained with sacrificial oxidants do not necessarily translate to
electrochemical conditions. Furthermore, other factors, such as electrodeposition
and catalyst degradation, play a major role in the electrochemically
driven water oxidation and should thus be considered when optimizing
molecular catalysts.

Abstract
A series of cerium-based UiO-66 was obtained via hydrothermal and sonochemical methods, using the same quantities of reagents (cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN), terephthalic acid (H2BDC)) and solvents) in each synthesis. The impact of synthesis method and metal to linker ratio on the structural and textural properties of obtained UiO-66(Ce), as well as their composition in terms of Ce4+/Ce3+ ratio, structure defects resulting from missing linker, and CO2 adsorption capacity was discussed. By using typical characterization techniques and methods, such as XRD, N2 and CO2 sorption, TGA, XPS, and SEM, it was shown that the agitation of reacting mixture during synthesis (caused by stirring or ultrasounds) allows to obtain structures that have more developed surfaces and fewer linker defects than when MOF was obtained in static conditions. The specific surface area was found to be of minor importance in the context of CO2 adsorption than the contribution of Ce3+ ions that were associated with the concentration of linker defects.

Abstract
The nature of the oxidizing species in water oxidation reactions with chemical oxidants catalyzed by α-[Fe(OTf)2(mcp)] (1α; mcp = N, N'-dimethyl- N, N'-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate anion) and β-[Fe(OTf)2(mcp)] (1β) has been investigated. Mössbauer spectroscopy provides definitive evidence that 1α and 1β generate oxoiron(IV) species as the resting state. Decomposition paths of the catalysts have been investigated by identifying and quantifying ligand fragments that form upon degradation. This analysis correlates the water oxidation activity of 1α and 1β with stability against oxidative damage of the ligand via aliphatic C-H oxidation. The site of degradation and the relative stability against oxidative degradation are shown to be dependent on the topology of the catalyst. Furthermore, the mechanisms of catalyst degradation have been rationalized by computational analyses, which also explain why the topology of the catalyst enforces different oxidation-sensitive sites. This information has served in creating catalysts where sensitive C-H bonds have been replaced by C-D bonds. The deuterated analogues D4-α-[Fe(OTf)2(mcp)] (D4-1α), D4-β-[Fe(OTf)2(mcp)] (D4-1β), and D6-β-[Fe(OTf)2(mcp)] (D6-1β) were prepared, and their catalytic activity has been studied. D4-1α proves to be an extraordinarily active and efficient catalyst (up to 91% of O2 yield); it exhibits initial reaction rates identical with those of its protio analogue, but it is substantially more robust toward oxidative degradation and yields more than 3400 TON ( n(O2)/ n(Fe)). Altogether this evidences that the water oxidation catalytic activity is performed by a well-defined coordination complex and not by iron oxides formed after oxidative degradation of the ligands.

Abstract
Catalysts that can promote oxygen evolution from water are necessary for green energy production. In this study, colloidal heterogeneous catalysts for oxygen evolution were prepared by coordination of Ir species to self-assemblies of histidyl bolaamphiphiles. When dissolved in water, the histidyl bolaamphiphiles self-assembled to form particulate structures with the exposure of densely packed histidine imidazoles on their surface. Subsequent coordination of the Ir species to the bolaamphiphile assembly gave rise to catalytic activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction. The oxygen evolution was examined by using the catalytic assemblies in the presence of a sacrificial oxidant, cerium ammonium nitrate. The Ir-coordinated assemblies showed a turnover frequency of 13 min-1 , which was comparable to those previously reported for molecular water oxidation catalysts. The catalytic activity increased with increasing histidine imidazole/Ir molar ratio, which suggested that multiple coordination of Ir to imidazoles facilitated the formation of active Ir intermediates. This study demonstrates the feasibility of constructing catalytically active interfaces from colloidal bolaamphiphile assemblies with biochemical ligands.

Abstract
A lot of effort is nowadays put into the development of novel water oxidation catalysts. In this context, mechanistic studies are crucial in order to elucidate the reaction mechanisms governing this complex process, new design paradigms and strategies how to improve the stability and efficiency of those catalysts. This review is focused on recent theoretical mechanistic studies in the field of homogeneous cobalt-based water oxidation catalysts. In the first part, computational methodologies and protocols are summarized and evaluated on the basis of their applicability toward real catalytic or smaller model systems, whereby special emphasis is laid on the choice of an appropriate model system. In the second part, an overview of mechanistic studies is presented, from which conceptual guidelines are drawn on how to approach novel studies of catalysts and how to further develop the field of computational modeling of water oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Water oxidation (WO) is a central reaction in the photo- and electro-synthesis of fuels. Iridium complexes have been successfully exploited as water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) with remarkable performances. Herein, we report a systematic study aimed at benchmarking well-known Ir WOCs, when NaIO4 is used to drive the reaction. In particular, the following complexes were studied: cis-[Ir(ppy)2 (H2 O)2 ]OTf (ppy=2-phenylpyridine) (1), [Cp*Ir(H2 O)3 ]NO3 (Cp*=1,2,3,4,5-pentamethyl-cyclopentadienyl anion) (2), [Cp*Ir(bzpy)Cl] (bzpy=2-benzoylpyridine) (3), [Cp*IrCl2 (Me2 -NHC)] (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) (4), [Cp*Ir(pyalk)Cl] (pyalk=2-pyridine-isopropanoate) (5), [Cp*Ir(pic)NO3 ] (pic=2-pyridine-carboxylate) (6), [Cp*Ir{(P(O)(OH)2 }3 ]Na (7), and mer-[IrCl3 (pic)(HOMe)]K (8). Their reactivity was compared with that of IrCl3 ⋅n H2 O (9) and [Ir(OH)6 ]2- (10). Most measurements were performed in phosphate buffer (0.2 m), in which 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 showed very high activity (yield close to 100 %, turnover frequency up to 554 min-1 with 10, the highest ever observed for a WO-driven by NaIO4 ). The found order of activity is: 10>2≈4>6>5>7>1>9>3>8. Clues concerning the molecular nature of the active species were obtained, whereas its exact nature remains doubtfully.

Abstract
The microwave-promoted three-component reaction between o-nitrochalcones, primary amines and β-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of Ce(IV) ammonium nitrate constitutes the first example of a multicomponent carbazole synthesis. This reaction furnishes highly substituted and functionalized carbazole derivatives via a double annulation process that generates two C-C and two C-N bonds, with water as the only side product. Mechanistically, this transformation has some unusual features that include an intramolecular coupled hydrogenation-dehydrogenation process, the functionalization of a C-H group by direct attack onto a nitrogen function and a CAN-catalyzed reduction via hydride transfer from ethanol. The mechanisms of these reactions were studied with the aid of computational techniques.

Abstract
Water oxidation is a fundamental step in artificial photosynthesis for solar fuels production. In this study, we report a single-site Ru-based water oxidation catalyst, housing a dicarboxylate-benzimidazole ligand, that mediates both chemical and light-driven oxidation of water efficiently under neutral conditions. The importance of the incorporation of the negatively charged ligand framework is manifested in the low redox potentials of the developed complex, which allows water oxidation to be driven by the mild one-electron oxidant [Ru(bpy)3 ]3+ (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine). Furthermore, combined experimental and DFT studies provide insight into the mechanistic details of the catalytic cycle.
