Polyoxometalate embedding of a tetraruthenium(IV)-oxo-core by template-directed metalation of [gamma-SIW10O36](8-): A totally inorganic oxygen-evolving catalyst
Solid state and solution evidence confirms the embedding of an adamantane like, Ru4O6 fragment by the divacant, gamma-decatungstosilicate ligand. The resulting complex catalyzes water oxidation to oxygen with TON up to 500 and TOF > 450 h(-1).
