Abstract Development of economically viable artificial photosynthesis requires use of 3d metal-based catalysts. Water oxidation by [Co4O4]n+ cubane mimics water splitting by CaMn4O5 cluster in Nature but the exact mechanism of O-O bond formation is presently unknown. We demonstrate first in situ detection CoIV=O (~ 1.67 Å) moiety formed upon activation of [Co4O4Py4Ac4]0 (Py = pyridine and Ac = CH3COO−) towards O-O bond formation. Combined spectroscopic and DFT analyses show that the intermediate active in O-O bond formation has two CoIV centers and at least one CoIV=O unit of strong radicaloid character that participates in O-O bond formation via water nucleophilic attack. The multimetallic structure of the cubane provides unique stabilization for CoIV=O + H2O = Co-OOH + H+ transition with the carboxyl accepting the proton and the bridging oxygen stabilizing the peroxide via hydrogen bonding. Results are important for development of oxygen evolution catalysts based on Earth-abundant 3d elements.
