Nearly stoichiometric amounts of O 2 are evolved on visible‐light irradiation of an aqueous buffer (pH 8) containing [Ru II (2,2′‐bipyridine) 3 ], Na 2 S 2 O 8 , and a heteropolynuclear cyanide complex containing Co and Pt ions as a photosensitizer, a sacrificial electron acceptor, and a water oxidation catalyst, respectively, as reported by Y. Yamada, S. Fukuzumi, et al. in their Communication on page 5613 ff. A synergistic effect between the Co and Pt ions was confirmed for the water oxidation catalysis by the heteropolynuclear complex.
