Electrochemical studies were performed on a series of Prussian blue analogues (PBAs), Co x [M(CN) 6 ] y (M=Fe 2+/3+ , Cr 3+ , and Co 3+ ), to study the effect of neighboring metal ions on the electronic properties of catalytically active cobalt sites. The experimental and computational studies indicate that the nucleophilic attack of water to cobalt‐oxo species should be the rate‐determining step, the rate of which can be tuned by changing the type of M(CN) 6 fragment in PBAs.
