Mimicking the Catalytic Center for the Water-Splitting Reaction in Photosystem II

The oxygen-evolving center (OEC) in photosystem II (PSII) of plants, algae and cyanobacteria is a unique natural catalyst that splits water into electrons, protons and dioxygen. The crystallographic studies of PSII have revealed that the OEC is an asymmetric Mn<sub>4</sub>CaO<sub>5...
