The new Ru complex 8 containing the bio-inspired ligand 7 was successfully synthesized and characterized. Complex 8 efficiently catalyzes water oxidation using CeIV and RuIII as chemical oxidants. More importantly, this complex has a sufficiently low overpotential to utilize ruthenium polypyridyl-type complexes as photosensitizers. Water splitting: A bio-inspired ligand containing imidazole and phenol functionalities has been synthesized. The corresponding Ru complex (1) could efficiently catalyze water oxidation under visible light illumination using Ru polypyridyl-type complexes as photosensitizers. Copyright
