Publisher Correction: Metal-hydroxyls mediate intramolecular proton transfer in heterogeneous O–O bond formation

AI Insight

This entry is a Publisher Correction notice for an article originally published in Nature Chemistry, titled "Metal-hydroxyls mediate intramolecular proton transfer in heterogeneous O-O bond formation." The correction does not alter the core scientific findings, which concern the mechanistic role of metal-hydroxyl species in facilitating intramolecular proton transfer during heterogeneous oxygen-oxygen bond formation. This process is relevant to understanding catalytic water oxidation at solid-liquid interfaces.

Why it matters

Elucidating the mechanistic steps of O-O bond formation is critical for the rational design of more efficient water-oxidation catalysts, which are central to technologies such as electrolytic hydrogen production and artificial photosynthesis.
