The visible light driven water oxidation reaction (WOR) by the organic electron acceptor 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyano-quinodimethane (TCNQF(4)) was studied at the water|butyronitrile interface. The WOR was performed at neutral pH, and without any metal or organometallic catalysts. The oxygen generated was measured by GC-MS and cyclic voltammetry, and the protons produced were monitored by measuring the aqueous pH. This work opens novel perspectives for water photo-oxidation in liquids and artificial photosynthesis.
