A binuclear manganese molecular complex (OH2)(terpy)Mn(μ-O)2Mn(terpy)(OH2) (1) is the most prominent structural and functional model of the water-oxidizing Mn complex operating in plants and cyanobacteria. Supported on montmorillonite clay and using Ce(IV) as a chemical oxidant, 1 has been reported to be one of the best Mn-based molecular catalysts toward water oxidation. By X-ray absorption spectroscopy and kinetic analysis of the oxygen evolution reaction, we show that (OH2)(terpy)Mn(μ-O)2Mn(terpy)(OH2) is transformed into layered type Mn-oxide particles which are the actual water oxidation catalyst.
双核锰分子配合物(OH2)(terpy)Mn(μ-O)2Mn(terpy)(OH2)(1)是在植物和蓝藻中起作用的水氧化 Mn 配合物的最突出的结构和功能模型。负载在蒙脱石粘土上,并使用 Ce(IV) 作为化学氧化剂,1 已被报道为最有前途的 Mn 基分子催化剂之一,可用于水氧化。通过 X 射线吸收光谱和氧气析出反应的动力学分析,我们表明(OH2)(terpy)Mn(μ-O)2Mn(terpy)(OH2)转化为层状类型的 Mn-氧化物颗粒,这是实际的水氧化催化剂。
