The new Ru complex 8 containing the bio‐inspired ligand 7 was successfully synthesized and characterized. Complex 8 efficiently catalyzes water oxidation using Ce IV and Ru III as chemical oxidants. More importantly, this complex has a sufficiently low overpotential to utilize ruthenium polypyridyl‐type complexes as photosensitizers.
