Abstract

A bismetallo-organic polymer was successfully prepared by treating a metallo-ligand with Ag(+); characterization was accomplished by NMR, UV-vis, and single crystal X-ray analyses. This heteronuclear polymer achieved more than a two-fold turnover number (TON) and a faster reaction rate in comparison to a Ce-driven Ru-monomer in catalytic water oxidation.
