The understanding of O-O bond formation is of great importance for revealing the mechanism of water oxidation in photosynthesis and for developing efficient catalysts for water oxidation in artificial photosynthesis. The chemical oxidation of the Ru<sup>II</sup><sub>2</sub>(OH)(OH<sub>2</sub>) core with the vicinal OH and OH<sub>2</sub> ligands was spectroscopically and theoretically investigated to provide a mechanistic insight into the O-O bond formation in the core. We demonstrate O-O bond fo ...[more]
