M. Watkinson et al., SYNTHESIS OF A BIS-MANGANESE WATER-SPLITTING COMPLEX, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (18), 1994, pp. 2141-2142
Complex 8 has been prepared by an efficient one-step manganese-templat
ed condensation/macrocyclisation;upon irradiation using visible light
in water in the presence of p-benzoquinone, complex 8 demonstrates the
ability to split water.
