Light me up : Through the use of an imidazole motif it is possible to introduce a combined redox and proton‐transfer mediator into single‐site ruthenium water‐oxidation catalysts. With the complex (see picture), high turnover numbers and high initial turnover frequencies were attained with the mild oxidant [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 3+ (bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine).
