Abstract
) on the kinetics of the water oxidation reaction catalysed by molecular Ru-complexes. The use of secondary interactions (such as π-π and C-H⋯π) in anchoring the molecular catalyst onto the solid conducting surface has also been discussed. We aim to provide a brief overview of the positive impact of outer-sphere engineering on water oxidation reactivity, which may offer guidelines for developing the next generation of advanced catalysts.
