Scheme 3.

Scheme 3.

The proposed mechanism of water oxidation in the reaction of manganese oxides and Ce(IV) or [Ru(bpy)3]3+ as an oxidant. Proposed role(s) of calcium, aluminium or zinc could be facilitating high oxidation states and/or the formation a moderate structure for water oxidation at manganese oxides. Oxidized manganese ions are shown in pink. (Online version in colour.)
