Abstract

Herein we report that a Cu(ii) salt can efficiently catalyze water oxidation in a neutral borate buffer. Studies on the mechanism revealed that the borate anion serves as an oxygen donor in O-O bond formation during the process of water oxidation, assisting in enhancing the catalytic activity of Cu(ii).
