Abstract
English (OpenAlex)
Abstract An entirely earth‐abundant chromophore‐relay water oxidation catalyst triad system, which is robust and efficient at neutral pH, is presented. The synthesis involves the coordination of a porphyrin derivative to a bridging Fe(CN)5 group, which is then reacted with Co ions to prepare a covalently linked chromophore–Prussian blue analogue assembly. Light‐driven water oxidation studies in the presence of an electron scavenger indicate that the triad is active and it maintains a steady activity for at least three hours. Transient absorption experiments and computational studies reveal that the Fe(CN)5 group is more than a linker as it takes part in electron‐transfer and co‐operates with porphyrin in the charge separation process.
