Cover Feature: Molecular Mechanism of the Mononuclear Copper Complex‐Catalyzed Water Oxidation from Cluster‐Continuum Model Calculations (ChemSusChem 7/2022)

The Cover Feature shows the mononuclear copper complex-catalyzed water oxidation proceeds via an H2O2 intermediate, which is further oxidized to O2. This process is analogous to the reverse process of O2 activation and reduction occurring in the natural copper-dependent monooxygenase. The present finding could have far-reaching implications on the reactivity and catalysis of mononuclear copper active site in both synthetic and biological systems.
