Efficient visible light-driven water oxidation catalysed by an iron(IV) clathrochelate complex

• A water-stable FeIV clathrochelate complex catalyzes fast and homogeneous photochemical oxidation of water to dioxygen with a turnover frequency of 2.27 s−1 and a maximum turnover number of 365. An FeV intermediate generated under catalytic conditions is trapped and characterised using EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopy.
