The presence of single-electron transfer (SET) steps in water oxidation processes catalyzed by first-row transition metal complexes has been recently recognized, but the computational characterization of this type of process is not trivial. We report a systematic theoretical study based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the reactivity of a specific copper complex active in water oxidation that reacts through two consecutive single-electron transfers. Both inner-sphere (through transition state location) and outer-sphere (through Marcus theory) mechanisms are analyzed. The first electron transfer is found to operate through outer-sphere, and the second one through inner-sphere. The current work proposes a scheme for the systematic study of single-electron transfer in water oxidation catalysis and beyond.

Reacting out of frustration: unlike buserite, the nanoconfined interlayer of birnessite results in geometric frustration of water molecules, which decreases the Marcus reorganization energy of electron transfer and enhances water oxidation catalysis.

A one-pot catalytic method has been developed for the stereoselective synthesis of cyclopropane-fused cyclic amidines using CuBr2/K2S2O8 as an efficient single electron transfer (SET) oxidative system. The generality of this...
