An artificial model of photosynthetic photosystem II: visible-light-derived O-2 production from water by a di-mu-oxo-bridged manganese dimer as an oxygen evolving center

Visible-light-derived O-2 production was yielded by conjugating water oxidation catalysis by [(OH2)(terpy)Mn(mu-O)(2)Mn-(terpy)(OH2)](3+) as an oxygen evolving center model and photo-sensitization of [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) as a photoexcitation center model at an interlayer of mica.
