The missing link? DFT calculations demonstrate that a binuclear mechanism of O 2 evolution involving seven‐coordinate ruthenium species, which operates through the direct coupling of oxygen radicals and does not require crossing of prohibitively high potential‐energy barriers, is plausible (see scheme).
