We explore the electrocatalytic capabilities of a water soluble MnBr(CO)<sub>3</sub>bpyCOOH complex towards heterogeneous hydrogen peroxide decomposition and water splitting. Interestingly, potential assisted deposition of the complex was observed (Figure 1) only under low (10 mM) solution ionic strength consequently pointing on an electrostatic adsorption of the complex at the electrode surface. The electrically assisted deposited film showed clear electrocatalytic activity towards both hydrogen peroxide and water. Due to the nature of the adsorption process and the high catalytic rate it might be feasible to monitor the reaction under individual molecule level and compare the stability and catalytic rate at the single entity level with respect to a film ensemble.
