Splitting water : Copolymerization of the cationic water‐oxidation catalyst [Ru 2 II (μ‐bpp)(t‐trpy) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] 3+ ( 1 ) with a cobalt cobaltabisdicarbollide monomer ( 2 ) generates a new material, “FTO/poly‐( 1 ‐ co ‐ 2 )”, that is capable of oxidizing water to molecular dioxygen with a turnover number (TN) of 250 (see picture). This represents the best performance ever obtained in a heterogeneous phase using a chemical oxidant.
