Abstract
This highlight covers recent progress towards complete homogeneous water photolysis. Efforts in designing catalysts for water reduction, as well as their interaction with light harvesting complexes, are discussed. There are several successful catalyst archetypes for water oxidation that are reviewed herein; however, light driven oxygen evolution remains an area of limited success.Keywords
