Rational molecular design of catalytic systems capable of smooth OO bond formation is critical to the development of efficient catalysts for water oxidation. A new ruthenium complex was developed, which bears pendant SO3−groups in the secondary coordination sphere: [Ru(terpy)(bpyms)(OH2)] (terpy=2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine, bpyms=2,2′‐bipyridine‐5,5′‐bis(methanesulfonate)). Water oxidation driven by a Ce4+oxidant is distinctly accelerated upon introduction of the pendant SO3−groups in comparisons to the parent catalyst, [Ru(terpy)(bpy)(OH2)]2+(bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine). Spectroscopic, electrochemical, and crystallographic investigations concluded that the pendant SO3−groups promote the formation of an OO bond via the secondary coordination sphere on the catalyst, whereas the influence of the pendant SO3−groups on the electronic structure of the [Ru(terpy)(bpy)(OH2)]2+core is negligible. The results of this work indicate that modification of the secondary coordination sphere is a valuable strategy for the design of water oxidation catalysts.
