Principal Investigator

Aurora Clark

Project type

Exploratory Research

The development of catalysts which can produce H2 or other fuels and are made from earth-abundant materials is dependent upon the fundamental nature of the catalytic reactions and is closely linked…

Computational Studies of "Covalent Hydration" Reactions Involving Non-innocent 2-2'-bipyridine Ligands Within Ru Water Oxidation Catalysts

Principal Investigator

Aurora Clark

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

The notion that bipyridine ligands in catalysts such as [Ru(bpy)3]3+ and the "blue dimer" [(bpy)2Ru(OH2)]2O4+ might participate in water oxidation through formation of OH-substituted…
