Direct-Coupling O2 Bond Forming a Pathway in Cobalt Oxide Water Oxidation Catalysts

Open access
Wang, Lee-Ping, Van Voorhis, Troy·2011·The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

Abstract

We report a catalytic mechanism for water oxidation in a cobalt oxide cubane model compound, in which the crucial O–O bond formation step takes place by direct coupling between two Co IV (O) metal oxo groups. Our results are based upon density functional theory (DFT) calculations and are consistent with experimental studies of the CoPi water oxidation catalyst. The computation of energetics and barriers for the steps leading up to and including the O–O bond formation uses an explicit solvent model within a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) framework, and captures the essential hydrogen-bonding effects and dynamical flexibility of this system.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
