Objective This project aims at addressing several key issues in the highly importance and challenged topic of water splitting by solar energy, an alternative energy source. Additionally, the designed systems will provide a starting point explore further catalytic applications. Its originality and timeliness lies in the design and study of two highly modular families of ligands which will be use as platforms to get insights and key features to enlarge the reactivity, such as: the basic geometrical and electronic parameters, the modification of the second coordination sphere, presence of multi-metallic systems among others.
