The mechanisms of water oxidation in artificial photosynthesis

Artificial photosynthesis involves several mechanisms of water oxidation. Generally, the operating mechanisms in the formation of oxygen-oxygen bonds are different. The first mechanism is the water nucleophilic attack (WNA) and the second mechanism is the interaction between two metal-oxygen (M-O) entities. In WNA, a molecule of water from the solvent attacks an oxo group from …
