A high-valent di-mu-oxo dimanganese complex covalently anchored in a metal-organic framework as a highly efficient and recoverable water oxidation catalyst

A biomimetic di-mu-oxo dimanganese complex bearing two triazole-binding tridentate ligands is successfully anchored inside a metal-organic framework (MOF) through a covalent-functionalization-assisted coordination strategy, exhibiting high activity and reliable durability in the chemical water oxidation reaction.
