Abstract: Getting in tune: Systematic tuning of the electronic properties of modular non-heme iron coordination complexes can be used to extract important information on the reaction mechanism and intermediates, which, in turn, help to explain the activity of these systems as water oxidation catalysts.<br /> (Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
