Abstract
Within photosynthetic organisms, the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II generates dioxygen from water using a catalytic Mn_(4)CaOn cluster (n varies with the mechanism and nature of the intermediate). We report here the rational synthesis of a [Mn_(3)CaO_4]^(6+) cubane that structurally models the trimanganese-calcium–cubane subsite of the OEC. Structural and electrochemical comparison between Mn_(3)CaO_4 and a related Mn_(4)O_4 cubane alongside characterization of an intermediate calcium-manganese multinuclear complex reveals potential roles of calcium in facilitating high oxidation states at manganese and in the assembly of the biological cluster.
