Thermodynamics of Proton and Electron Transfer in Tetranuclear Clusters with Mn-OH2/OH Motifs Relevant to H2O Activation by the Oxygen Evolving Complex in Photosystem II.


ABSTRACT: We report the synthesis of site-differentiated heterometallic clusters with three Fe centers and a single Mn site that binds water and hydroxide in multiple cluster oxidation states. Deprotonation of FeIII/II3MnII-OH2 clusters leads to internal reorganization resulting in formal oxidation at Mn to generate FeIII/II3MnIII-OH. 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy reveals that oxidation state changes (three for FeIII/II3Mn-OH2 and four for FeIII/II3Mn-OH clusters) occur exclusively at the Fe centers; the Mn center is formally MnII when water is bound and MnIII when hydroxide is bound. Experimentally determined p Ka (17.4) of the
