摘要

The mechanism of the generation of dioxygen at the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII), a crucial step in photosynthesis, is still under debate. The simplest unit present in the OEC that can produce O_2 is a dinuclear oxo-bridged manganese complex within the tetranuclear Mn_4 cluster. In this paper we report a theoretical study of the model complexes [Mn_2(#mu#-O)_2(NH_3)_6(H_2O)]~(n+) (n = 2-5), for which density functional calculations have been carried out for several electronic configurations. The molecular orbital picture deduced from the calculations indicates that one-electron oxidation of the Mn_2~(IV, IV)/(O~(2-)_2 complex (n = 4) mostly affects the oxygen atoms, thus ruling out the existence of a Mn~V oxidation state in this context, while the incipient formation of an O-O bond in the O_2~(3-) transition species evolves exothermally toward the dissociation of dioxygen and a Mn_2~(II, III) couple. These results identify the electronic features that could be needed to enable an intramolecular mechanism of oxygen-oxyen bond formatin to exist at the OEC during photosynthesis.
