Artificial synthetic MnIVCa–oxido complexes mimic the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II†
Abstract
A novel family of heteronuclear MnIVCa–oxido complexes containing MnIVCa–oxido cuboidal moieties and reactive water molecules on Ca2+ have been synthesized and characterized to mimic the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII) in nature.
