Mechanism of a Mn12-based cluster electrocatalyst for homogeneous water oxidation

In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Maayan and co-workers report a Mn-based molecular water-oxidation catalyst (WOC), Mn ₁₂ Br, that exhibits exceptional stability. This work provides valuable mechanistic insights into a Mn-based WOC and paves the way for sustainable energy production using a cost-effective electrocatalyst.
