Abstract
Utilization of renewable energies for catalytically generating value-added chemicals is highly desirable in this era of rising energy demands and climate change impacts. Artificial photosynthetic systems or photocatalysts utilize light to convert abundant CO2, H2O, and O2 to fuels, such as carbohydrates and hydrogen, thus converting light energy to storable chemical resources. The emergence of intense X-ray pulses from synchrotrons, ultrafast X-ray pulses from X-ray free electron lasers, and table-top laser-driven sources over the past decades opens new frontiers in deciphering photoinduced catalytic reaction mechanisms on the multiple temporal and spatial scales. Operando X-ray spectroscopic methods offer a new set of electronic transitions in probing the oxidation states, coordinating geometry, and spin states of the metal catalytic center and photosensitizers with unprecedented energy and time resolution. Operando X-ray scattering methods enable previously elusive reaction steps to be characterized on different length scales and time scales. The methodological progress and their application examples collected in this review will offer a glimpse into the accomplishments and current state in deciphering reaction mechanisms for both natural and synthetic systems. Looking forward, there are still many challenges and opportunities at the frontier of catalytic research that will require further advancement of the characterization techniques.

Abstract
The rational design of efficient catalysts for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) critically relies on a comprehensive understanding of the reaction mechanisms. Herein, the alkaline OER on planar mononuclear metal phthalocyanines (MPc, where M = Mn, Co, Fe, and Ni) and binuclear metal phthalocyanines (bi-MPc) is studied using density functional theory (DFT) methods. Both FePc and bi-CoPc exhibit enhanced stability and OER activity, with the energy required for the leaching of central metal being as high as 2.28 and 2.45 eV and the overpotentials of the OER being 0.48 and 0.57 V, respectively. Through electronic structure analysis, it is found that, in the OER process of bi-MPc, the large macrocyclic ligand and metal ions not bonding with the intermediate can serve as hole reservoirs. Intermediate species are further stabilized by the dispersal of a positive charge, reducing the free energy. These findings underscore the significance of macrocyclic ligands in the rate-determining step of the OER catalyst.

Abstract
A multistep synthesis of a new tetra-amidate macrocyclic ligand functionalized with alkyl-thiophene moieties, 15,15-bis(6-(thiophen-3-yl)hexyl)-8,13-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,h][1,4,7,10]tetraazacyclotridecine-6,7,14,16(15H,17H)-tetraone, H4 L, is reported. The reaction of the deprotonated ligand, L4- , and Cu(II) generates the complex [LCu]2- , that can be further oxidized to Cu(III) with iodine to generate [LCu]- . The H4 L ligand and their Cu complexes have been thoroughly characterized by analytic and spectroscopic techniques (including X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy, XAS). Under oxidative conditions, the thiophene group of [LCu]2- complex polymerizes on the surface of graphitic electrodes (glassy carbon disks (GC), glassy carbon plates (GCp ), carbon nanotubes (CNT), or graphite felts (GF)) generating highly stable thin films. With CNTs deposited on a GC by drop casting, hybrid molecular materials labeled as GC/CNT@p-[LCu]2- are obtained. The latter are characterized by electrochemical techniques that show their capacity to electrocatalytically oxidize water to dioxygen at neutral pH. These new molecular anodes achieve current densities in the range of 0.4 mA cm-2 at 1.30 V versus NHE with an onset overpotential at ≈250 mV. Bulk electrolysis experiments show an excellent stability achieving TONs in the range of 7600 during 24 h with no apparent loss of catalytic activity and maintaining the molecular catalyst integrity, as evidenced by electrochemical techniques and XAS spectroscopy.

Abstract
The present work describes electrocatalytic water oxidation of three monomeric copper complexes [CuII(L1)] (1), [CuII(L2)(H2O)] (2), and [CuII(L3)] (3) with bis-amide tetradentate ligands: L1 = N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)dipicolinamide, L2 = N,N'-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)bis(pyrazine-2-carboxamide), L3 = N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(pyrazine-2-carboxamide), for the production of molecular oxygen by the oxidation of water at pH 13.0. Ligands and all complexes have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal XRD, analytical, and spectroscopic techniques. X-ray crystallographic data show that the ligand coordinates to copper in a dianionic fashion through deprotonation of two -NH protons. Cyclic voltammetry study shows a reversible copper-centered redox couple with one ligand-based oxidation event. The electrocatalytic water oxidation occurs at an onset potential of 1.16 (overpotential, η ≈ 697 mV), 1.2 (η ≈ 737 mV), and 1.23 V (η ≈ 767 mV) for 1, 2, and 3 respectively. A systematic variation of the ligand scaffold has been found to display a profound effect on the rate of electrocatalytic oxygen evolution. The results of the theoretical (density functional theory) studies show the stepwise ligand-centered oxidation process and the formation of the O-O bond during water oxidation passes through the water nucleophilic attack for all the copper complexes. At pH = 13, the turnover frequencies have been experimentally obtained as 88, 1462, and 10 s-1 (peak current measurements) for complexes 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Production of oxygen gas during controlled potential electrolysis was detected by gas chromatography.

Abstract
The water oxidation half reaction in water splitting for hydrogen production is extremely rate-limiting. This study reports the synthesis of two heterometallic clusters (Gd6Cu24-IM and Gd6Cu24-AC) for application as efficient water oxidation catalysts. Interestingly, the maximum turnover frequency of Gd6Cu24-IM in an NaAc solution of a weak acid (pH 6) was 319 s-1. The trimetallic catalytic site, H2O-GdIIICuII2-H2O, underwent two consecutive two-electron two-proton coupled transfer processes to form high-valent GdIII-O-O-CuIII2 intermediates. Furthermore, the O-O bond was formed via intramolecular interactions between the CuIII and GdIII centers. The results of this study revealed that synergistic catalytic water oxidation between polymetallic sites can be an effective strategy for regulating O-O bond formation.

Abstract
The nucleophilic attack of water or hydroxide on metal-oxo units forms an O-O bond in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Coordination tuning to improve this attack is intriguing but has been rarely realized. We herein report on improved OER catalysis by metal porphyrin 1-M (M=Co, Fe) with a coordinatively unsaturated metal ion. We designed and synthesized 1-M by sterically blocking one porphyrin side with a tethered tetraazacyclododecane unit. With this protection, the metal-oxo species generated in OER can maintain an unoccupied trans axial site. Importantly, 1-M displays a higher OER activity in alkaline solutions than analogues lacking such an axial protection by decreasing up to 150-mV overpotential to achieve 10 mA/cm2 current density. Theoretical studies suggest that with an unoccupied trans axial site, the metal-oxo unit becomes more positively charged and thus is more favoured for the hydroxide nucleophilic attack as compared to metal-oxo units bearing trans axial ligands.

Abstract
The formation of Cu(III) species are often invoked as the key intermediate in Cu-catalyzed organic transformation reactions. In this study, we synthesized Cu(II) (1) and Cu(III) (3) complexes supported by a bisamidate-bisalkoxide ligand consisting of an ortho-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) scaffold and characterized them through an array of spectroscopic techniques, including UV-visible, electron paramagnetic resonance, X-ray crystallography, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The Cu-N/O bond distances in 3 are ∼0.1 Å reduced compared to 1, implying a significant increase in 3's overall effective nuclear charge. Further, a Cu(III) complex (4) of a bisamidate-bisalkoxide ligand containing a trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine moiety exhibits nearly identical Cu-N/O bond distances to that of 3, inferring that the redox-active o-PDA backbone is not oxidized upon one-electron oxidation of the Cu(II) complex (1). In addition, a considerable difference in the 1s → 4p and 1s → 3d transition energy was observed in the X-ray absorption near-edge structure data of 3 vs 1, which is typical for the metal-centered oxidation process. Electrochemical measurements of the Cu(II) complex (1) in acetonitrile exhibited two consecutive redox couples at -0.9 and 0.4 V vs the Fc+/Fc reference electrode. One-electron oxidation reaction of 3 further resulted in the formation of a ligand-oxidized Cu complex (3a), which was characterized in depth. Reactivity studies of species 3 and 3a were explored toward the activation of the C-H/O-H bonds. A bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) value of ∼69 kcal/mol was estimated for the O-H bond of the Cu(II) complex formed upon transfer of hydrogen atom to 3. The study represents a thorough spectroscopic characterization of high-valent Cu complexes and sheds light on the PCET reactivity studies of Cu(III) complexes.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are core steps of various energy conversion and storage systems. However, their sluggish reaction kinetics, i.e., the demanding multielectron transfer processes, still render OER/ORR catalysts less efficient for practical applications. Moreover, the complexity of the catalyst-electrolyte interface makes a comprehensive understanding of the intrinsic OER/ORR mechanisms challenging. Fortunately, recent advances of in situ/operando characterization techniques have facilitated the kinetic monitoring of catalysts under reaction conditions. Here we provide selected highlights of recent in situ/operando mechanistic studies of OER/ORR catalysts with the main emphasis placed on heterogeneous systems (primarily discussing first-row transition metals which operate under basic conditions), followed by a brief outlook on molecular catalysts. Key sections in this review are focused on determination of the true active species, identification of the active sites, and monitoring of the reactive intermediates. For in-depth insights into the above factors, a short overview of the metrics for accurate characterizations of OER/ORR catalysts is provided. A combination of the obtained time-resolved reaction information and reliable activity data will then guide the rational design of new catalysts. Strategies such as optimizing the restructuring process as well as overcoming the adsorption-energy scaling relations will be discussed. Finally, pending current challenges and prospects toward the understanding and development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts and selected homogeneous catalysts are presented.

Abstract
Today sustainable and clean energy conversion strategies are based on sunlight and the use of water as a source of protons and electrons, in a similar manner as it happens in Photosystem II. To achieve this, the charge separation state induced by light has to be capable of oxidising water by 4 protons and 4 electrons and generating molecular oxygen. This oxidation occurs by the intermediacy of a catalyst capable of finding low-energy pathways via proton-coupled electron transfer steps. The high energy involved in the thermodynamics of water oxidation reaction, coupled with its mechanistic complexity, is responsible for the difficulty of discovering efficient and oxidatively robust molecules capable of achieving such a challenging task. A significant number of Ru coordination complexes have been identified as water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) and are among the best understood from a mechanistic perspective. In this review, we describe the catalytic performance of these complexes and focus our attention on the factors that influence their performance during catalysis, especially in cases where a detailed mechanistic investigation has been carried out. The collective information extracted from all the catalysts studied allows one to identify the key features that govern the complex chemistry associated with the catalytic water oxidation reaction. This includes the stability of trans-O-Ru-O groups, the change in coordination number from CN6 to CN7 at Ru high oxidation states, the ligand flexibility, the capacity to undergo intramolecular proton transfer, the bond strain, the axial ligand substitution, and supramolecular effects. Overall, combining all this information generates a coherent view of this complex chemistry.

Abstract
Molecular cobalt(III) complexes of bis-amidate-bis-alkoxide ligands, (Me4N)[CoIII(L1)] (1) and (Me4N)[CoIII(L2)] (2), are synthesized and assessed through a range of characterization techniques. Electrocatalytic water oxidation activity of the Co complexes in a 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution revealed a ligand-centered 2e-/1H+ transfer event at 0.99 V followed by catalytic water oxidation (WO) at an onset overpotential of 450 mV. By contrast, 2 reveals a ligand-based oxidation event at 0.9 V and a WO onset overpotential of 430 mV. Constant potential electrolysis study and rinse test experiments confirm the homogeneous nature of the Co complexes during WO. The mechanistic investigation further shows a pH-dependent change in the reaction pathway. On the one hand, below pH 7.5, two consecutive ligand-based oxidation events result in the formation of a CoIII(L2-)(OH) species, which, followed by a proton-coupled electron transfer reaction, generates a CoIV(L2-)(O) species that undergoes water nucleophilic attack to form the O-O bond. On the other hand, at higher pH, two ligand-based oxidation processes merge together and result in the formation of a CoIII(L2-)(OH) complex, which reacts with OH- to yield the O-O bond. The ligand-coordinated reaction intermediates involved in the WO reaction are thoroughly studied through an array of spectroscopic techniques, including UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. A mononuclear CoIII(OH) complex supported by the one-electron oxidized ligand, [CoIII(L3-)(OH)]-, a formal CoIV(OH) complex, has been characterized, and the compound was shown to participate in the hydroxide rebound reaction, which is a functional mimic of Compound II of Cytochrome P450.

Abstract
In this study, dinuclear cobalt complexes (1 and 2) featuring bis(benzimidazole)pyrazolide-type ligands (H2 L and Me2 L) were prepared and evaluated as molecular electrocatalysts for water oxidation. Notably, 1 bearing a non-innocent ligand (H2 L) displayed faster catalytic turnover than 2 under alkaline conditions, and the base dependence of water oxidation and kinetic isotope effect analysis indicated that the reaction mediated by 1 proceeded by a different mechanism relative to 2. Spectroelectrochemical, cold-spray ionization mass spectrometric and computational studies found that double deprotonation of 1 under alkaline conditions cathodically shifted the catalysis-initiating potential and further altered the turnover-limiting step from nucleophilic water attack on (H2 L)CoIII 2 (superoxo) to deprotonation of (L)CoIII 2 (OH)2 . The rate-overpotential analysis and catalytic Tafel plots showed that 1 exhibited a significantly higher rate than previously reported Ru-based dinuclear electrocatalysts at similar overpotentials. These observations suggest that using non-innocent ligands is a valuable strategy for designing effective metal-based molecular water oxidation catalysts.

Abstract
A cationic manganese porphyrin, MnIII-TDMImP, is an efficient, homogeneous, single-site water oxidation electrocatalyst at neutral pH. The measured turnover frequency for oxygen production is 32 s-1. Mechanistic analyses indicate that MnV(O)(OH2), the protonated form of the corresponding trans-MnV(O)2 species, is generated from the MnIII(OH2)2 precursor in a 2-e- two-proton process and is responsible for O-O bond formation with a H2O molecule. Chloride ion is a competitive substrate with H2O for the MnV(O)(OH2) oxidant, forming hypochlorous acid with a rate constant that is 3 orders of magnitude larger than that of water oxidation. The data allow the construction of an experimental energy landscape for this water oxidation catalysis process.

Abstract
In this study, we explore the water oxidation process with the help of density functional theory. The formation of an oxygen-oxygen bond is crucial in the water oxidation process. Here, we report the formation of the oxygen-oxygen bond by the N5-coordinate oxoiron species with a higher oxidation state of FeIV and FeV. This bond formation is studied through the nucleophilic addition of water molecules and the transfer of the oxygen atom from meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA). Our study reveals that the oxygen-oxygen bond formation by reacting mCPBA with FeVO requires less activation barrier (13.7 kcal mol-1) than the other three pathways. This bond formation by the oxygen atom transfer (OAT) pathway is more favorable than that achieved by the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) pathway. In both cases, the oxygen-oxygen bond formation occurs by interacting the σ*dz2-2pz molecular orbital of the iron-oxo intermediate with the 2px orbital of the oxygen atom. From this study, we understand that the oxygen-oxygen bond formation by FeIVO with the OAT process is also feasible (16 kcal mol-1), suggesting that FeVO may not always be required for the water oxidation process by non-heme N5-oxoiron. After the oxygen-oxygen bond formation, the release of the dioxygen molecule occurs with the addition of the water molecule. The release of dioxygen requires a barrier of 7.0 kcal mol-1. The oxygen-oxygen bond formation is found to be the rate-determining step.

Abstract
We report the mechanistic details of the water oxidation process by the complex, [CoII(bpbH2)Cl2], where bpbH2 = N, N'-bis(2'-pyridinecarboxamide)-1,2-benzene. An experimental study reported the complex as the efficient catalyst for the water oxidation process. We performed density functional theory calculations at the M06-L level and first-principles molecular dynamics simulations to study the catalytic nature of the complex. We investigated the energetics of the total catalytic cycle, which combines the oxygen-oxygen bond formation, proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) steps, and release of oxygen molecule. The formed peroxide and superoxide intermediates in the catalytic cycle were characterized with the help of the Mulliken spin density parameters. Mulliken spin densities of the metal-oxo bond reveal that the triplet state of CoV═O has a double-bond nature, but the quintet state of the complex has a radical nature (CoIV-O•-). In an alternative way, the deprotonation of the amide groups of the ligand is also considered. The deprotonation and formation of higher oxidation metal-oxo intermediates are also possible. In addition to this, we have considered the effect of phosphate buffer on water nucleophilic addition. The oxygen-oxygen bond formation is favorable by the catalyst with the deprotonated form of the ligand, with the addition of water as the nucleophile. In the oxidation process, the C═O bonds of the ligand transfer the electron density to nitrogen atoms, stabilizing the higher order oxo, peroxide, and superoxide bonds. The oxygen-oxygen bond formation is the rate-determining step in the overall water oxidation process. This bond was further investigated using first-principles molecular dynamics at the PBE-D2 level. The dynamics of proton, hydroxide ion, and the nature of the ligand structure on the oxygen-oxygen bond were examined. We find that the oxygen molecule is released from the superoxide complex with the addition of water molecules.

Abstract
![]()
The homogeneity of
molecular Co-based water oxidation catalysts
(WOCs) has been a subject of debate over the last 10 years as assumed
various homogeneous Co-based WOCs were found to actually form CoOx under operating conditions. The homogeneity
of the Co(HL) (HL = N,N-bis(2,2′-bipyrid-6-yl)amine) system was investigated
with cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance,
and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The obtained experimental results
were compared with heterogeneous CoOx.
Although it is shown that Co(HL) interacts with the electrode
during electrocatalysis, the formation of CoOx was not observed. Instead, a molecular deposit of Co(HL) was found to be formed on the electrode surface. This study
shows that deposition of catalytic material is not necessarily linked
to the decomposition of homogeneous cobalt-based water oxidation catalysts.

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
Two molecular copper(II) complexes, (NMe4)2[CuII(L1)] (1) and (NMe4)2[CuII(L2)] (2), ligated by a N2O2 donor set of ligands [L1 = N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide), and L2 = N,N'-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide)] have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. An electrochemical study of 1 in a carbonate buffer at pH 9.2 revealed a reversible copper-centered redox couple at 0.51 V, followed by two ligand-based oxidation events at 1.02 and 1.25 V, and catalytic water oxidation at an onset potential of 1.28 V (overpotential of 580 mV). The electron-rich nature of the ligand likely supports access to high-valent copper species on the CV time scale. The results of the theoretical electronic structure investigation were quite consistent with the observed stepwise ligand-centered oxidation process. A constant potential electrolysis experiment with 1 reveals a catalytic current density of >2.4 mA cm-2 for 3 h. A one-electron-oxidized species of 1, (NMe4)[CuIII(L1)] (3), was isolated and characterized. Complex 2, on the contrary, revealed copper and ligand oxidation peaks at 0.505, 0.90, and 1.06 V, followed by an onset water oxidation (WO) at 1.26 V (overpotential of 560 mV). The findings show that the ligand-based oxidation reactions strongly depend upon the ligand's electronic substitution; however, such effects on the copper-centered redox couple and catalytic WO are minimal. The energetically favorable mechanism has been established through the theoretical calculation of stepwise reaction energies, which nicely explains the experimentally observed electron transfer events. Furthermore, as revealed by the theoretical calculations, the O-O bond formation process occurs through a water nucleophilic attack mechanism with an easily accessible reaction barrier. This study demonstrates the importance of redox-active ligands in the development of molecular late-transition-metal electrocatalysts for WO reactions.

Abstract
Catalysis offers a straightforward route to prepare various value-added molecules starting from readily available raw materials. The catalytic reactions mostly involve multi-electron transformations. Hence, compared to the inexpensive and readily available 3d-metals, the 4d and 5d-transition metals get an extra advantage for performing multi-electron catalytic reactions as the heavier transition metals prefer two-electron redox events. However, for sustainable development, these expensive and scarce heavy metal-based catalysts need to be replaced by inexpensive, environmentally benign, and economically affordable 3d-metal catalysts. In this regard, a metal-ligand cooperative approach involving transition metal complexes of redox noninnocent ligands offers an attractive alternative. The synergistic participation of redox-active ligands during electron transfer events allows multi-electron transformations using 3d-metal catalysts and allows interesting chemical transformations using 4d and 5d-metals as well. Herein we summarize an up-to-date literature report on the metal-ligand cooperative approaches using transition metal complexes of redox noninnocent ligands as catalysts for a few selected types of catalytic reactions.

Abstract
The rational design of efficient catalysts for electrochemical water oxidation highly depends on the understanding of reaction pathways, which still remains a challenge. Herein, mononuclear and binuclear cobalt phthalocyanine (mono-CoPc and bi-CoPc) with a well-defined molecular structure are selected as model electrocatalysts to study the water oxidation mechanism. We found that bi-CoPc on a carbon support (bi-CoPc/carbon) shows an overpotential of 357 mV at 10 mA cm−2, much lower than that of mono-CoPc/carbon (>450 mV). Kinetic analysis reveals that the rate-determining step (RDS) of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) over both electrocatalysts is a nucleophilic attack process involving a hydroxy anion (OH−). However, the substrate nucleophilically attacked by OH− for bi-CoPc is the phthalocyanine cation-radical species (CoII–Pc–Pc˙+–CoII–OH) that is formed from the oxidation of the phthalocyanine ring, while cobalt oxidized species (Pc–CoIII–OH) is involved in mono-CoPc as evidenced by the operando UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry technique. DFT calculations show that the reaction barrier for the nucleophilic attack of OH− on CoII–Pc–Pc˙+–CoII–OH is 1.67 eV, lower than that of mono-CoPc with Pc–CoIII–OH nucleophilically attacked by OH− (1.78 eV). The good agreement between the experimental and theoretical results suggests that bi-CoPc can effectively stabilize the accumulated oxidative charges in the phthalocyanine ring, and is thus bestowed with a higher OER performance. bi-CoPc can stabilize accumulated oxidative charges in phthalocyanine ring, which leads to the OER proceeding through a nucleophilic attack of OH- on the phthalocyanine cation-radical species that is formed from the oxidation of phthalocyanine ring.![]()

Abstract
A new six coordinated tetra-nuclear macrocyclic Zn(II) complex, ZnL4(Phen)2 (1) (HL= 3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde-pyridine-2-carbohydrazone, Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized by the self-assembly of 3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde-pyridine-2-carbohydrazone, Zn(CH3COO)2•2H2O, NaOH and 1,10-phenanthroline in water/ethanol (v:v = 1:3) solution. Complex 1 was characterized by elemental analysis, infra red (IR), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results show that Zn1 and Zn1b ions are six-coordinated with a distorted octahedral geometric configuration by four O atoms of two different L ligands and two N atoms of two different L ligands, Zn1a and Zn1c ions are also six-coordinated with a distorted octahedral geometric configuration by two N atoms of two different L ligands, two N atoms of Phen ligands and two O atoms of two different L ligands. Complex (1) forms 3D network structure by the - interaction. The selective oxidation reactions of benzyl alcohols catalyzed by complex (1) was investigated. The highest benzyl alcohol conversion and benzaldehyde selectivity were obtained at 100 °C for 4 h under 5 bar of O2. Copyright © 2021 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract
Solar-powered water splitting is a dream reaction for constructing an artificial photosynthetic system for producing solar fuels. Natural photosystem II is a prototype template for research on artificial solar energy conversion by oxidizing water into molecular oxygen and supplying four electrons for fuel production. Although a range of synthetic molecular water oxidation catalysts have been developed, the understanding of O-O bond formation in this multielectron and multiproton catalytic process is limited, and thus water oxidation is still a big challenge. Herein, we report a trinuclear copper cluster that displays outstanding reactivity toward catalytic water oxidation inspired by multicopper oxidases (MCOs), which provides efficient catalytic four-electron reduction of O2 to water. This synthetic mimic exhibits a turnover frequency of 20000 s-1 in sodium bicarbonate solution, which is about 150 and 15 times higher than that of the mononuclear Cu catalyst (F-N2O2Cu, 131.6 s-1) and binuclear Cu2 complex (HappCu2, 1375 s-1), respectively. This work shows that the cooperation between multiple metals is an effective strategy to regulate the formation of O-O bond in water oxidation catalysis.

Abstract
The substitution behavior of the monodentate Cl ligand of a series of ruthenium(II) terpyridine complexes (terpyridine (tpy)=2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine) has been investigated. 1H NMR kinetic experiments of the dissociation of the chloro ligand in D2O for the complexes [Ru(tpy)(bpy)Cl]Cl (1, bpy=2,2’‐bipyridine) and [Ru(tpy)(dppz)Cl]Cl (2, dppz=dipyrido[3,2‐a:2′,3′‐c]phenazine) as well as the binuclear complex [Ru(bpy)2(tpphz)Ru(tpy)Cl]Cl3 (3
b, tpphz=tetrapyrido[3,2‐a:2′,3′‐c:3′′,2′′‐h:2′′′,3′′′‐j]phenazine) were conducted, showing increased stability of the chloride ligand for compounds 2 and 3 due to the extended π‐system. Compounds 1–5 (4=[Ru(tbbpy)2(tpphz)Ru(tpy)Cl](PF6)3, 5=[Ru(bpy)2(tpphz)Ru(tpy)(C3H8OS)/(H2O)](PF6)3, tbbpy=4,4′‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine) are tested for their ability to run water oxidation catalysis (WOC) using cerium(IV) as sacrificial oxidant. The WOC experiments suggest that the stability of monodentate (chloride) ligand strongly correlates to catalytic performance, which follows the trend 1>2>5≥3>4. This is also substantiated by quantum chemical calculations, which indicate a stronger binding for the chloride ligand based on the extended π‐systems in compounds 2 and 3. Additionally, a theoretical model of the mechanism of the oxygen evolution of compounds 1 and 2 is presented; this suggests no differences in the elementary steps of the catalytic cycle within the bpy to the dppz complex, thus suggesting that differences in the catalytic performance are indeed based on ligand stability. Due to the presence of a photosensitizer and a catalytic unit, binuclear complexes 3 and 4 were tested for photocatalytic water oxidation. The bridging ligand architecture, however, inhibits the effective electron‐transfer cascade that would allow photocatalysis to run efficiently. The findings of this study can elucidate critical factors in catalyst design.

Abstract
In this study, we proposed to design effective multi-target anticancer agents based on the chelation of nontoxic metals with ligands that possess anticancer activity. In total, five Sn(ii) pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes are synthesized and their activities are tested. Among these complexes, C5 is found to show the highest cytotoxicity on investigating their structure-activity relationships. In addition, C5 not only exhibits an effective inhibitory effect against tumor growth in vivo, but also suppresses angiogenesis and restricts the metastasis of cancer cells in vitro. Multiple mechanisms underlie the antitumor effect of C5, and they include acting against DNA, inducing apoptosis, and inhibiting the activities of anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL protein, metalloproteinase MMP2 and topoisomerase II.

Abstract
Water oxidation to dioxygen is one of the key reactions that need to be mastered for the design of practical devices based on water splitting with sunlight. In this context, water oxidation catalysts based on first‐row transition metal complexes are highly desirable due to their low cost and their synthetic versatility and tunability through rational ligand design. A new family of dianionic bpy‐amidate ligands of general formula H2LNn− (LN is [2,2′‐bipyridine]‐6,6′‐dicarboxamide) substituted with phenyl or naphthyl redox non‐innocent moieties is described. A detailed electrochemical analysis of [(L4)Cu]2− (L4=4,4′‐(([2,2′‐bipyridine]‐6,6′‐dicarbonyl)bis(azanediyl))dibenzenesulfonate) at pH 11.6 shows the presence of a large electrocatalytic wave for water oxidation catalysis at an η=830 mV. Combined experimental and computational evidence, support an all ligand‐based process with redox events taking place at the aryl‐amide groups and at the hydroxido ligands.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is a promising approach toward low-cost renewable fuels; however, the high overpotential and slow kinetics limit its applicability. Studies suggest that either dinuclear copper (Cu) centers or the use of borate buffer can lead to efficient catalysis. We previously demonstrated the ability of peptoids-N-substituted glycine oligomers-to stabilize high-oxidation-state metal ions and to form self-assembled di-copper-peptoid complexes. Capitalizing on these features herein we report on a unique Cu-peptoid duplex, Cu2(BEE)2, that is a fast and stable homogeneous electrocatalyst for water oxidation in borate buffer at pH 9.35, with low overpotential and a high turnover frequency of 129 s-1 (peak current measurements) or 5503 s-1 (FOWA); both are the highest reported for Cu-based water electrocatalysts to date. BEE is a peptoid trimer having one 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two ethanolic groups, easily synthesized on solid support. Cu2(BEE)2 was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and various spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques, demonstrating its ability to maintain stable in four cycles of controlled potential electrolysis, leading to a high overall turnover number of 51.4 in a total of 2 h. Interestingly, the catalytic activity of control complexes having only one ethanolic side chain is 2 orders of magnitude lower than that of Cu2(BEE)2. On the basis of this comparison and on mechanistic studies, we propose that the ethanolic side chains and the borate buffer have significant roles in the high stability and catalytic activity of Cu2(BEE)2; the -OH groups facilitate protons transfer, while the borate species enables oxygen transfer toward O-O bond formation.

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.
