In the present work we describe the synthesis and study of a Ru<sup>II</sup>-Fe<sup>II</sup> chromophore-catalyst assembly designed to perform the light-induced activation of an iron bound water molecule and subsequent photo-driven oxidation of a substrate. Using a series of spectroscopic techniques, we demonstrate that excitation of the chromophore unit with 450 nm light, in the presence of a sacrificial electron acceptor, triggers a cascade of electron transfers leading to the formation of a h ...[more]
