We recently described single-site catalysts for water oxidation that operate by a well-defined mechanism involving stepwise three-electron oxidation to high-oxidation-state oxo complexes [RuV (tpy)(bpm)(O)] 3+ and [RuV (tpy)(bpz)(O)] 3+(tpy= 2, 2’: 6’, 2’’-terpyridine; bpm= 2, 2’-bipyrimidine; bpz= 2, 2’-bipyrazine).[1] Additional single-site ruthenium catalysts have been identified by Thummel et al. that may utilize a related mechanism.[2] These reactions appear to occur through key O∑∑∑ O bond forming steps and peroxido intermediates that are reminiscent of the proposed water oxidation mechanism in the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII)[3, 4] and water oxidation by the blue ruthenium dimer cis, cis-[(bpy) 2 (H2O) RuIIIORuIII (OH2)-(bpy) 2] 4+(bpy= 2, 2’-bipyridine).[5] We also reported that rates of cerium (IV)-catalyzed water oxidation by the blue dimer are greatly enhanced by added redox mediators,[Ru (bpy) 2 (LL)] 2+(LL= bpy, bpm, or bpz) and [Ru-(bpm) 3] 2+.[6] Herein, we present stable, robust water oxidation catalysis based on assemblies containing both functions in solution, and notably in methylenephosphonate derivatives on electrode surfaces, for which turnovers of more than 28 000 have been achieved.The assemblies can be synthesized in two steps: 1) Reaction of [RuII (bpy) 2Cl2]∑ 2H2O with [RuII (LLL)(bpm) Cl]+[7, 8] in 1: 1 EtOH: H2O (LLL= tpy or Mebimpy: 2, 6-bis (1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl) pyridine; structures in Figure 1 a); 2) removal of the chloro ligand and chloride counter ions in the resulting ligand-bridged assemblies [(bpy) 2RuII-(bpm) RuII (LLL) Cl] Cl3 by reaction with neat HOTf (OTf¿= trifluoromethanesulfonate) followed by displacement of OTf¿ in water to give [(bpy) 2RuII (bpm) RuII (tpy)(OH2)] 4+(1) or [(bpy) 2RuII (bpm) RuII (Mebimpy)(OH2)] 4+(2). Purification was achieved by column chromatography (Sephadex LH-20) by using water as the eluant. The corresponding methylenephosphonate ethyl esther derivatives were prepared by similar strategies by replacing [RuII (bpy) 2Cl2]∑ 2H2O with[{[4, 4’-(EtO) 2OPCH2] 2-bpy} 2RuIICl2].[9] Hydrolysis of the methylenephosphonate
