title: Kinetics and DFT studies on water oxidation by Ce4+ catalyzed by [Ru(terpy)(bpy)(OH2)]2+.
abstract: The Ru(V)==O species and other intermediates in O(2) evolution from water catalyzed by [Ru(terpy)(bpy)(OH(2))](2+) were spectrophotometrically characterized, and the spectral components observed were identified based on the TD-DFT calculations. Moreover, important insights into the rapid paths after the RDS were given by the DFT studies.
