Isolating an elusive missing link

(Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ)) ICIQ scientists from the Lloret-Fillol group have, for the first time, isolated and fully characterised an elusive intermediate in the Water Oxidation Reaction.The paper will help scientists working on photosystem II to better understand the mechanism of the oxygen-oxygen bond formation in the Water Oxidation Reaction. The work has been published in Nature Chemistry.
