Abstract

Experiments show that [Ru(terpy)(bpy)(OH ₂)] ²⁺ is highly active as a catalyst toward oxidation of water into molecular oxygen in spite of the mononuclear character of the complex, while [Ru(terpy)(bpy)Cl] ⁺ shows no activity at all. It is also confirmed that [Ru(terpy)(bpy)(OH ₂)] ²⁺ is fairly stable under strongly oxidizing conditions in the presence of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate, Ce(NH ₄) ₂(N0 ₃) ₆, which was evidenced by spectrophotometric, mass spectrometric, and gas chromatographic analysis.
