The development of catalysts for the oxidation of water using ligands with a non‐innocent character could potentially be employed for the rational design of efficient water‐oxidation catalysts. In their Full Paper on page 10039 ff. , B. Åkermark, M. D. Kärkäs, R.‐Z. Liao and co‐workers explore the mechanistic details associated with a dinuclear Ru‐based water‐oxidation catalyst. Combining experimental studies and quantum chemical calculations provides insight into the fundamental principles controlling the reactivity of the catalyst, in which metal–ligand cooperation is a vital part.
