title: Is [Co4(H2O)2(α-PW9O34)2](10-) a genuine molecular catalyst in photochemical water oxidation? Answers from time-resolved hole scavenging experiments.
abstract: Water oxidation catalysts: evolution of [Co(4)(H(2)O)(2)(α-PW(9)O(34))(2)](10-) to catalytically active species is assessed by laser flash photolysis in sacrificial photocatalytic cycles with Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) as a photosensitizer.
