Bridging-type changes facilitate successive oxidation steps at about 1 V in two binuclear manganese complexes - implications for photosynthetic water-oxidation
The redox behavior of two synthetic manganese complexes illustrates a mechanistic aspect of importance for light-driven water oxidation in Photosystem 11 (PSII) and design of biomimetic systems (artificial photosynthesis). The coupling between changes in oxidation state and structural changes was investigated for two binuclear manganese complexes (1 and 2), which differ in the set of first sphere
