Abstract

Abstract Image

A bis-hydroxo-bridged dinuclear CoIII-pyridylmethylamine complex (1) was synthesized and the crystal structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 acts as a homogeneous catalyst for visible-light-driven water oxidation by persulfate (S2O82–) as an oxidant with [RuII(bpy)3]2+ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) as a photosensitizer affording a high quantum yield (44%) with a large turnover number (TON = 742) for O2 formation without forming catalytically active Co-oxide (CoOx) nanoparticles. In the water-oxidation process, complex 1 undergoes proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) oxidation as a rate-determining step to form a putative dinuclear bis-μ-oxyl CoIII complex (2), which has been suggested by DFT calculations. Catalytic water oxidation by 1 using [RuIII(bpy)3]3+ as an oxidant in a H216O and H218O mixture was examined to reveal an intramolecular O–O bond formation in the two-electron-oxidized bis-μ-oxyl intermediate, prior to the O2 evolution.
