Accelerating water oxidation - a mixed Co/Fe polyoxometalate with improved turnover characteristics.

ABSTRACT: Water oxidation is a bottleneck reaction for the establishment of solar-to-fuel energy conversion systems. Earth-abundant metal-based polyoxometalates are promising heterogeneous water oxidation catalysts that can operate in a wide pH range. However, detailed structure-reactivity relationships are not yet comprehensively understood, hampering the design and synthesis of more effective polyoxometalate-based oxidation catalysts. Here we report the synthesis of an ordered, mixed-metal cobalt-iron Weakley archetype [Co^II₂(H₂O)₂Fe^III₂(Co^IIW₉O₃₄)₂]^14- (Co₂Fe₂-WS), which unexpectedly highlights the strong influence of the central, coordinatively saturated
