We have prepared the amphiphilic molecular catalyst [Co III (L OC 18 )(pyrr) 2 ]ClO 4 (1), where L OC 18 is the deprotonated form of N, N'-[4,5-bis(octadecyloxy)-1,2-phenylene]dipicolinamide. Species 1 can be anchored onto a carbon black support to yield the assembly 1@CB, which can catalyze water oxidation at an affordable onset overpotential of 0.32 V, with a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 at 0.37 V. Moreover, 1@CB displays TOF = 3850 h -1 . A mechanism is proposed based on the experimental and density-functional-theory-calculated data.
