The understanding of O–O bond formation is of great importance for revealing the mechanism of water oxidation in photosynthesis and for developing efficient catalysts for water oxidation in artificial photosynthesis. The chemical oxidation of the RuII2(OH)(OH2) core with the vicinal OH and OH2ligands was spectroscopically and theoretically investigated to provide a mechanistic insight into the O–O bond formation in the core. We demonstrate O–O bond formation at the low-valent RuIII2(OH) core with the vicinal OH ligands to form the RuII2(μ-OOH) core with a μ-OOH bridge. The O–O bond formation is induced by deprotonation of one of the OH ligands of RuIII2(OH)2via intramolecular coupling of the OH and deprotonated O−ligands, conjugated with two-electron transfer from two RuIIIcenters to their ligands. The intersystem crossing between singlet and triple states of RuII2(μ-OOH) is easily switched by exchange of H+between the μ-OOH bridge and the auxiliary backbone ligand.
