A team from the Weizmann Institute’s Organic Chemistry Department has demonstrated a novel approach for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, driven by sunlight. The metal complex of the element ruthenium is a ‘smart’ complex in which the metal center and the organic part attached to it cooperate in the cleavage of the water molecule.
