Marcus Klahn
Marcus Klahn studied chemistry at the University of Rostock. In 2009, he obtained his PhD on chiral-substituted group 4 metallocene complexes under the supervision of Uwe Rosenthal at the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis in Rostock. He rejoined the group after a research stay with Doug Stephan at the University of Toronto in 2009, where he was working on frustrated Lewis pairs and is now a senior scientist in the group “Organometallic Water Splitting”.
Torsten Beweries studied chemistry at the University of Rostock. He obtained his PhD under the supervision of Uwe Rosenthal (Leibniz Institute for Catalysis, Rostock) in 2008 for studies on the organometallic chemistry of hafnocene complexes. After a postdoctoral stay with Robin N. Perutz at the University of York in 2009, working on halogen bonding and transition metal fluoride complexes, he returned to Rostock, where he is now head of the group “Organometallic Water Splitting”. His current research is focussed towards photocatalytic water splitting and hydrogen storage as well as small-molecule activation using transition metal complexes.
Abstract
This review gives an overview on the recent developments in the field of coordination chemistry of water at transition metal centres, which could give implications for a better understanding of the elementary steps of light-driven overall water splitting. Additionally, selected examples for homogeneous catalyst systems that are capable of producing hydrogen and/or oxygen from water are presented, focussing on the mechanistic aspects of water reduction and water oxidation.
