Light-Driven Water Oxidation with Ligand-Engineered Prussian Blue Analogues.

ABSTRACT: The elucidation of the ideal coordination environment of a catalytic site has been at the heart of catalytic applications. Herein, we show that the water oxidation activities of catalytic cobalt sites in a Prussian blue (PB) structure could be tuned systematically by decorating its coordination sphere with a combination of cyanide and bidentate pyridyl groups.  K_0.1[Co(bpy)]_2.9[Fe(CN)₆]₂ ([Cobpy-Fe]), K_0.2[Co(phen)]_2.8[Fe(CN)₆]₂ ([Cophen-Fe]), {[Co(bpy)₂]₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂}[Fe(CN)₆]_1/3 ([Cobpy2-Fe]), and {[Co(phen)₂]₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂}[Fe(CN)₆]_1/3 Cl_0.11 (
