Water Oxidation Catalyzed by a Dinuclear Mn Complex: A Functional Model for the Oxygen-Evolving Center of Photosystem II

A highly specific and catalytic oxidation of water occurs when using a dinuclear Mn complex of a mononegative carboxylate‐containing pentadentate ligand (see scheme). Isotope‐labeling experiments coupled with membrane inlet mass spectrometry show that one oxygen atom in the evolved O2 molecule is de...

Summary:A highly specific and catalytic oxidation of water occurs when using a dinuclear Mn complex of a mononegative carboxylate‐containing pentadentate ligand (see scheme). Isotope‐labeling experiments coupled with membrane inlet mass spectrometry show that one oxygen atom in the evolved O2 molecule is derived from water and the other from the oxidant.
