    An end-on superoxido complex with the formula {CoIII(OH2)­(trpy)­CoIII(OO•)­(trpy)­(μ-bpp)}4+ (3 4+) (bpp– = bis­(2-pyridyl)-3,5-pyrazolate; trpy = 2,2′;6′:2″-terpyridine) has been characterized by resonance Raman, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies. These results together with online mass spectrometry experiments using 17O and 18O isotopically labeled compounds prove that this compound is a key intermediate of the water oxidation reaction catalyzed by the peroxido-bridged complex {CoIII(trpy)2(μ-bpp)­(μ-OO)}3+ (1 3+). DFT calculations agree with and complement the experimental data, offering a complete description of the transition states and intermediates involved in the catalytic cycle.
