Abstract
A series of Ca-Mn clusters with the ligand 2-pyridinemethoxide (Py-CH2O) have been prepared with varying degrees of topological similarity to the biological oxygen-evolving complex. These clusters activate water as a substrate in the oxidative degradation of propylene carbonate, with activity correlated with topological similarity to the OEC, lowering the onset potential of the oxidation by as much as 700 mV.
