Obtaining mechanistic data after the rate-determining step of a chemical reaction is difficult but essential for its understanding. Now, a Ru(iv) side-on peroxo complex has been isolated following the rate-determining step of the water oxidation reaction (O–O bond formation) carried out using a Ru-based molecular catalyst.
