Abstract

© 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. All rights reserved. The replacement of fossil fuels by hydrogen generated by water splitting with sunlight is a very attractive solution to today's energy problem. In order to develop a practical technology based on these elements, robust and efficient water oxidation catalysts need to be developed. The molecular complexity of this process is high and thus tailored transition metal complexes which can access low-energy reaction pathways are needed as catalysts. In the present review a comprehensive description of Ru complexes is offered excluding those described by Sun's group that will be described in another chapter of the same book.
