A soft-oxometalate (SOM) based on Mo and V i.e. {MoV} in their highest oxidation state reduces CO to HCOOH selectively in water. Catalysis initiates without the use of any photosensitizer and solvent water acts as the sacrificial electron donor which gets oxidized to generate oxygen. Electrons and protons released in this process reduce CO to HCOOH.
