The activity of eleven separated iron complexes and nine in situ‐generated iron complexes towards catalytic water oxidation have been examined in aqueous solutions with Ce(NH 4 ) 2 (NO 3 ) 6 as the oxidant. Two iron complexes bearing tridentate and tetradentate macrocyclic ligands were found to be novel water oxidation catalysts. The one with tetradentate ligand exhibited a promising activity with a turnover number of 65 for oxygen evolution.
