摘要

A carbon-free, stable, homogeneous water oxidation catalyst based on the unique hepta-nuclear cobalt-arsenic core ("fused" double-quasi-cubane) and polyoxometalate ligands, Na-12[{(Co7As6O9)-As-II-O-III(OH)(6)}-(A-alpha-SiW9O34)(2)]center dot 8H(2)O (1), was synthesized, thoroughly characterized and employed to catalyze water oxidation under visible-light-driven conditions.
