چکیده
A novel ruthenium(ii) water oxidation catalyst equipped with axial perylene bisimide ligands that self-assembled into nanofibers was synthesized. This fiber-embedded catalyst exhibited improved performance compared with a monomeric reference for the oxidative water splitting reaction.

Post-self-assembly cross-linking of molecular nanofibers for oscillatory hydrogels.
After a polymerizable hydrogelator self-assembles in water to form molecular nanofibers, post-self-assembly cross-linking allows the catalyst of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction to be attached to the nanofibers, resulting in a hydrogel that exhibits concentration oscillations, spiral waves, and concentric waves. In addition to the first report of the observation of BZ spiral waves in a hy...
متن کاملEnabling light-driven water oxidation via a low-energy RuIV=O intermediate.
The discovery of catalysts capable of driving water oxidation at relatively low overpotential is a key challenge for efficient photoinduced water oxidation. The mononuclear Ru(II) polypyridyl complex (1) [Ru(NPM)(H2O)(pic)2](2+) (NPM = 4-tert-butyl-2,6-di-(1',8'-naphthyrid-2'-yl)-pyridine, pic = 4-picoline) has been examined as a catalyst for visible-light-driven water oxidation in a three-comp...
متن کاملMechanism of Catalytic Water Oxidation by the Ruthenium Blue Dimer Catalyst: Comparative Study in D2O versus H2O
Water oxidation is critically important for the development of energy solutions based on the concept of artificial photosynthesis. In order to gain deeper insight into the mechanism of water oxidation, the catalytic cycle for the first designed water oxidation catalyst, cis,cis-[(bpy)₂(H₂O)RuIIIORuIII(OH₂)(bpy)₂]4+ (bpy is 2,2-bipyridine) known as the blue dimer (BD), is monitored in D₂O by com...

The preparation and characterization of new Ru(II) polypyridylbased chromophore−catalyst assemblies, [(4,4′-PO3H2-bpy)2Ru(4-Mebpy-4′-epic)Ru(bda)(pic)] (1, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; 4-Mebpy-4′-epic = 4-(4-methylbipyridin-4′-yl-ethyl)-pyridine; bda = 2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxylate; pic = 4-picoline), and [(bpy)2Ru(4-Mebpy-4′-epic)Ru(bda)(pic)] (1′) are described, as is the application of 1 in a...
متن کاملMechanism of Water Oxidation Catalyzed by a Dinuclear Ruthenium Complex Bridged by Anthraquinone
We synthesized 1,8-bis(2,2′:6′,2”-terpyrid-4′-yl)anthraquinone (btpyaq) as a new dimerizing ligand and determined its single crystal structure by X-ray analysis. The dinuclear Ruthenium complex [Ru2(μ-Cl)(bpy)2(btpyaq)](BF4)3 ([3](BF4)3, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) was used as a catalyst for water oxidation to oxygen with (NH4)2[Ce(NO3)6] as the oxidant (turnover numbers = 248). The initial reaction...
