Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of distinctive porous crystalline materials
constructed by metal ions/clusters and organic linkers. Owing to their structural diversity …

Molecular catalysis plays an essential role in both natural and artificial photosynthesis (AP).
However, the field of molecular catalysis for AP has gradually declined in recent years …

Metal-containing clusters have attracted increasing attention over the past 2–3 decades.
This intense interest can be attributed to the fact that these discrete metal aggregates, whose …

Water oxidation is a key chemical transformation for the conversion of solar energy into
chemical fuels. Our review focuses on recent work on robust earth-abundant heterogeneous …

Water oxidation is the primary reaction of both natural and artificial photosynthesis.
Developing active and robust water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is the key to constructing …

Catalysts for the oxidation of H2O are an integral component of solar energy to fuel
conversion technologies. Although catalysts based on scarce and precious metals have …

Abstract Terminal cobalt (IV)–oxo (CoIV–O) species have been implicated as key
intermediates in various cobalt-mediated oxidation reactions. Herein we report the …

A new cobalt metal–organic framework (2D-Co-MOF) based on well-defined layered double
cores that are strongly connected by intermolecular bonds has been developed. Its 3D …

The future of artificial photosynthesis depends on economic and robust water oxidation
catalysts (WOCs). Cobalt-based WOCs are especially promising for knowledge transfer …

The Co4O4 cubane is a representative structural model of oxidic cobalt oxygen-evolving
catalysts (Co-OECs). The Co-OECs are active when residing at two oxidation levels above …
