title: Embedding of a ruthenium(ii) water oxidation catalyst into nanofibers via self-assembly.
abstract: A novel ruthenium(ii) water oxidation catalyst equipped with axial perylene bisimide ligands that self-assembled into nanofibers was synthesized. This fiber-embedded catalyst exhibited improved performance compared with a monomeric reference for the oxidative water splitting reaction.
