ChemPlusChem Special Issue - Catalytic Systems for Water Splitting

As a sponsor of the Pacifichem Symposium #76 entitled "Molecular Catalysis of Water Splitting Reactions", ChemPlusChem is highlighting contributions associated with this meeting in a special issue, to be published later in 2016. The symposium will focus on transition-metal-based molecular catalysts and their structures and mechanisms, the theory and design of new catalysts and catalytic materials, and bioinspired catalysts.

This special issue will provide a multifacetted "snapshot" of the latest advances in the rapidly evolving field. You are cordially invited to submit an excellent multidisciplinary article on water oxidation/splitting (submission deadline is April 30th, 2016).

Our guest editors, Gary Brudvig, Joost Reek, Ken Sakai, Leone Spiccia, and Licheng Sun, serve as the liaisons for this issue and ensure that this topical research area is well represented by high-quality articles. Contributions to this forthcoming issue will appear below as they become available.
