title: Water splitting by light with osmocene as photocatalyst.
abstract: Last but not least: A simple molecular redox system is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen photochemically. Two separate photolyses are combined to a cyclic process (see scheme). Osmocene ([Cp(2)Os(II)] with Cp(-) = C(5)H(5)(-)) serves as photocatalyst.
