title: Highly efficient and robust molecular water oxidation catalysts based on ruthenium complexes.
abstract: Two monomeric ruthenium molecular catalysts for water oxidation have been prepared, and both of them show high activities in pH 1.0 aqueous solutions, with an initial rate of over 1000 turnover s(-1) by complex 1, and a turnover number of more than 100,000 by complex 2.
