Keep 'em separated : Pores of a MOF were used to isolate a highly reactive water‐oxidation catalyst (Mn III (μ‐O) 2 Mn IV ; spheres in picture). The resulting construct shows highly sustained water oxidation, with minimized intermolecular degradative side‐reactions. This system provides a simple path to extend the lifetime of reactive catalysts without compromising their molecular definition and reactivity.
