Abstract
Generation of high-valent oxomanganese complexes through controlled removal of protons and electrons from low-valent congeners is a crucial step toward the synthesis of functional analogues of the native oxygen evolving complex (OEC). In-depth studies of the water oxidation activity of such biomimetic compounds help in understanding the mechanism of O-O bond formation presumably occurring in the last step of the photosynthetic cycle. Scarce reports of reactive high-valent oxomanganese complexes underscore the impetus for the present work, wherein we report the electrochemical generation of the non-heme oxomanganese(IV) species [(dpaq)MnIV(O)]+ (2) through a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process from the hydroxomanganese complex [(dpaq)MnIII(OH)]ClO4 (1). Controlled potential spectroelectrochemical studies of 1 in wet acetonitrile at 1.45 V vs. NHE revealed quantitative formation of 2 within 10 min. The high-valent oxomanganese(IV) transient exhibited remarkable stability and could be reverted to the starting complex (1) by switching the potential to 0.25 V vs. NHE. The formation of 2via PCET oxidation of 1 demonstrates an alternate pathway for the generation of the oxomanganese(IV) transient (2) without the requirement of redox-inactive metal ions or acid additives as proposed earlier. Theoretical studies predict that one-electron oxidation of [(dpaq)MnIV(O)]+ (2) forms a manganese(V)-oxo (3) species, which can be oxidized further by one electron to a formal manganese(VI)-oxo transient (4). Theoretical analyses suggest that the first oxidation event (2 to 3) takes place at the metal-based d-orbital, whereas, in the second oxidation process (3 to 4), the electron eliminates from an orbital composed of equitable contribution from the metal and the ligand, leaving a single electron in the quinoline-dominant orbital in the doublet ground spin state of the manganese(VI)-oxo species (4). This mixed metal-ligand (quinoline)-based oxidation is proposed to generate a formal Mn(VI) species (4), a non-heme analogue of the species 'compound I', formed in the catalytic cycle of cytochrome P-450. We propose that the highly electrophilic species 4 catches water during cyclic voltammetry experiments and results in O-O bond formation leading to electrocatalytic oxidation of water to hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
A general interest in harnessing the oxidizing power of dioxygen (O2) continues to motivate research efforts on bioinspired and biomimetic complexes to better understand how metalloenzymes mediate these reactions. The ubiquity of Fe- and Cu-based enzymes attracts significant attention and has resulted in many noteworthy developments for abiotic systems interested in direct O2 reduction and small molecule activation. However, despite the existence of Mn-based metalloenzymes with important O2-dependent activity, there has been comparatively less focus on the development of these analogues relative to Fe- and Cu-systems. In this Perspective, we summarize important contributions to the development of bioinspired mononuclear Mn complexes for O2 activation and studies on their reactivity, emphasizing important design parameters in the primary and secondary coordination spheres and outlining mechanistic trends.

Abstract
With a view to developing multimetallic molecular catalysts that mimic the oxygen-evolving catalyst (OEC) in Nature's photosystem II, the synthesis of various dicubanoid manganese clusters is described and their catalytic activity investigated for water oxidation in basic, aqueous solution. Pyridinemethanol-based ligands are known to support polynuclear and cubanoid structures in manganese coordination chemistry. The chelators 2,6-pyridinedimethanol (H2 L1 ) and 6-methyl-2-pyridinemethanol (HL2 ) were chosen to yield polynuclear manganese complexes; namely, the tetranuclear defective dicubanes [MnII 2 MnIII 2 (HL1 )4 (OAc)4 (OMe)2 ] and [MnII 2 MnIII 2 (HL1 )6 (OAc)2 ] (OAc)2 ⋅2 H2 O, as well as the octanuclear-dicubanoid [MnII 6 MnIII 2 (L2 )4 (O)2 (OAc)10 (HOMe/OH2 )2 ]⋅3MeOH⋅MeCN. In freshly prepared solutions, polynuclear species were detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, whereas X-band electron paramagnetic resonance studies in dilute, liquid solution suggested the presence of divalent mononuclear Mn species with g values of 2. However, the magnetochemical investigation of the complexes' solutions by the Evans technique confirmed a haphazard combination of manganese coordination complexes, from mononuclear to polynuclear species. Subsequently, the newly synthesized and characterized manganese molecular complexes were employed as precursors to prepare electrode-deposited films in a buffer-free solution to evaluate and compare their stability and catalytic activity for water oxidation electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Spurred by the rapid growth of Ru-based complexes as molecular water oxidation catalysts (WOCs), we propose novel ruthenium(II) complexes bearing pyridylpyrrole-carboxylate (H2ppc) ligands as members of the WOC family. The structure of these complexes has 4-picoline (pic)/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in [Ru(ppc)(pic)2(dmso)] and pic/pic in [Ru(ppc)(pic)3] as axial ligands. Another ppc2- ligand and one pic ligand are located at the equatorial positions. [Ru(ppc)(pic)2(dmso)] behaves as a WOC as determined by electrochemical measurement and has an ultrahigh electrocatalytic current density of 8.17 mA cm-2 at 1.55 V (vs NHE) with a low onset potential of 0.352 V (vs NHE), a turnover number of 241, a turnover frequency of 203.39 s-1, and kcat of 16.34 s-1 under neutral conditions. The H2O/pic exchange of the complexes accompanied by oxidation of a ruthenium center is the initial step in the catalytic cycle. The cyclic voltametric measurements of [Ru(ppc)(pic)2(dmso)] at various scan rates, Pourbaix diagrams (plots of E vs pH), and kinetic studies suggested a water nucleophilic attack mechanism. HPO42- in a phosphate buffer solution is invoked in water oxidation as the proton acceptor.

Abstract
Oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions employing transition metal-oxo species have tremendous significance in homogeneous catalysis for industrial use. Understanding the structural and mechanistic aspects of OAT reactions using high-valent metal-oxo species is of great importance to fine-tune their reactivity. Herein we examine the reactivity of a non-heme high-valent oxo-manganese(iv) complex, [MnIVH3buea(O)]- towards a variety of substrates such as PPh2Me, PPhMe2, PCy3, PPh3, and PMe3 using density functional theory as well as ab initio CASSCF/NEVPT2 methods. We have initially explored the structure and bonding of [MnIVH3buea(O)]- and its congener [MnIVH3buea(S)]-. Our calculations affirm an S = 3/2 ground state of the catalyst with the S = 5/2 and S = 1/2 excited states predicted to be too high lying in energy to participate in the reaction mechanism. Our ab initio CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations, however, reveal a strong multi-reference character for the ground S = 3/2 state with many low-lying quartets mixing significantly with the ground state. This opens up various reaction channels, and the admixed wave-function evolves during the reaction with the excited triplet dominating the ground state wave-function at the reactant complex. Our calculations predict the following pattern of reactivity, PCy3 < PMe3 < PPh3 < PPhMe2 < PPh2Me for the OAT reaction with the MnIV[double bond, length as m-dash]O species which correlates well with the experimental observations. Detailed electronic structure analysis of the transitions states reveal that these substrates react via an unusual low-energy δ-type pathway where a spin-up electron from the substrate is transferred to the δ*x2-y2 orbital of the MnIV[double bond, length as m-dash]O facilitated by its multi-reference character. The unusual reactivity observed here has implications in understanding the reactivity of [Mn4Ca] species in photosystem II.

Abstract
The crucial O-O bond forming step in the water oxidizing complex (WOC) of photosystem II is modeled using density functional theory calculations and compared with structural X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) determinations for the penultimate S3 state. Concerted electron flow between the Mn4O5 and Mn1O6 bonds of the complex and the nascent O-O bond is monitored using intrinsic bond orbital analysis along the reaction path. Concerted transfer to Mn1 and Mn4 of two electrons from the reactant oxos, O5 and O6, resulting in an unoccupied antibonding σ2p* orbital is the key to low barrier O-O bond formation. The potential energy surface for O-O bond formation shows a rather broad energy minimum for the oxo-oxo form ranging from 2.4-2.0 Å which may explain the relatively short O5-O6 bond distance reported in experimental structure studies. Alternatively the short O5-O6 bond distance may reflect a dynamic equilibrium model across the whole O-O potential energy surface.

Abstract
Heterogeneity in intermediate catalytic states of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of Photosystem II is known from a wide range of experimental and theoretical data, but its potential implications for the mechanism of water oxidation remain unexplored. We delineate the consequences of structural heterogeneity for the final step of the catalytic cycle by tracing the evolution of three spectroscopically relevant and structurally distinct components of the last metastable S3 state to the transient O2-evolving S4 state of the OEC. Using quantum chemical calculations, we show that each S3 isomer leads to a different electronic structure formulation for the active S4 state. Crucially, in addition to previously hypothesized Mn(IV)-oxyl species, we establish for the first time, how a genuine Mn(V)-oxo can be obtained in the catalytically active S4 state: this takes the form of a five-coordinate and locally high-spin (SMn = 1) Mn(V) site. This formulation for the S4 state evolves naturally from a preceding S3-state structural intermediate that contains a quasi-trigonal-bipyramidal Mn(IV) ion. The results strongly suggest that water binding in the S3 state is not prerequisite for reaching the oxygen-evolving S4 state of the complex, supporting the notion that both substrates are preloaded at the beginning of the catalytic cycle. This scenario allows true four-electron metal-centered hole accumulation to precede OO bond formation and hence the latter can proceed via a genuine even-electron mechanism. This can occur as intramolecular nucleophilic coupling of two oxo units synchronously with the binding of a water substrate for the next catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Water splitting, in which water molecules can be transformed into hydrogen and oxygen, is an appealing energy conversion and transformation strategy to address the environmental and energy crisis. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is dynamically slow, which limits energy conversion efficiency during the water-splitting process and requires high-efficiency water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) to overcome the OER energy barrier. It is generally accepted that multinuclear WOCs possess superior OER performances, as demonstrated by the CaMn4 O5 cluster in photosystem II (PSII), which can catalyze the OER efficiently with a very low overpotential. Inspired by the CaMn4 O5 cluster in PSII, some multinuclear WOCs were synthesized that could catalyze water oxidation. In addition, some mononuclear molecular WOCs also show high water oxidation activity. However, it cannot be excluded that the high activity arises from the formation of dimeric species. Recently, some mononuclear heterogeneous WOCs showed a high water oxidation activity, which testified that mononuclear active sites with suitable coordination surroundings could also catalyze water oxidation efficiently. This Review focuses on recent progress in the development of mono-/multinuclear homo- and heterogeneous catalysts for water oxidation. The active sites and possible catalytic mechanisms for water oxidation on the mono-/multinuclear WOCs are provided.

Abstract
Significant differences were found in the proton-coupled redox chemistry and catalytic behavior of the binuclear [{Ru(H2O)(bpz)}2(tpy2ph)](PF6)4 complex [bpz = 2,2'-bipyrazine; tpy2ph = 1,3-bis(4'-2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4-yl)benzene] as compared with the structurally analogous derivative with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) instead of bpz. The differences were assigned to the stronger π-accepting character of bpz relative to bpy as the ancillary ligand. The expectation of a positive shift for the Ru-centered redox potentials was confirmed for the lower oxidation state species, but that trend was reversed in the formation of the high-valence catalytic active species as shown by a negative shift of 0.14 V for the potential of the [RuIV/V[double bond, length as m-dash]O] process. Moreover, DFT calculations indicated a significant decrease of about 15% on the spin density and oxyl character of the [RuV[double bond, length as m-dash]O]3+ fragment. The significantly lower kcat(O2) for the bpz system was attributed to these combined electronic effects.

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 [FeIII2FeIIMnII-OH2] cluster and the reduction potentials of the [Fe3Mn-OH2] and [Fe3Mn-OH] clusters were used to analyze the O-H bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEO-H) for multiple cluster oxidation states. BDEO-H increases from 69 to 78 and 85 kcal/mol for the [FeIIIFeII2MnII-OH2], [FeIII2FeIIMnII-OH2], and [FeIII3MnII-OH2] clusters, respectively. Further insight of the proton and electron transfer thermodynamics of the [Fe3Mn-OH x] system was obtained by constructing a potential-p Ka diagram; the shift in reduction potentials of the [Fe3Mn-OH x] clusters in the presence of different bases supports the BDEO-H values reported for the [Fe3Mn-OH2] clusters. A lower limit of the p Ka for the hydroxide ligand of the [Fe3Mn-OH] clusters was estimated for two oxidation states. These data suggest BDEO-H values for the [FeIII2FeIIMnIII-OH] and [FeIII3MnIII-OH] clusters are greater than 93 and 103 kcal/mol, which hints to the high reactivity expected of the resulting [Fe3Mn═O] in this and related multinuclear systems.

Abstract
High-valent metal-hydroxide species are invoked as critical intermediates in both catalytic, metal-mediated O2 activation (e.g., by Fe porphyrin in Cytochrome P450) and O2 production (e.g., by the Mn cluster in Photosystem II). However, well-characterized mononuclear MIV(OH) complexes remain a rarity. Herein we describe the synthesis of MnIV(OH)(ttppc) (3) (ttppc = tris(2,4,6-triphenylphenyl) corrole), which has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The large steric encumbrance of the ttppc ligand allowed for isolation of 3. The complexes MnV(O)(ttppc) (4) and MnIII(H2O)(ttppc) (1·H2O) were also synthesized and structurally characterized, providing a series of Mn complexes related only by the transfer of hydrogen atoms. Both 3 and 4 abstract an H atom from the O-H bond of 2,4-di- tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP) to give a radical coupling product in good yield (3 = 90(2)%, 4 = 91(5)%). Complex 3 reacts with 2,4-DTBP with a rate constant of k2 = 2.73(12) × 104 M-1 s-1, which is ∼3 orders of magnitude larger than 4 ( k2 = 17.4(1) M-1 s-1). Reaction of 3 with a series of para-substituted 2,6-di- tert-butylphenol derivatives (4-X-2,6-DTBP; X = OMe, Me, tBu, H) gives rate constants in the range k2 = 510(10)-36(1.4) M-1 s-1 and led to Hammett and Marcus plot correlations. Together with kinetic isotope effect measurements, it is concluded that O-H cleavage occurs by a concerted H atom transfer (HAT) mechanism and that the MnIV(OH) complex is a much more powerful H atom abstractor than the higher-valent MnV(O) complex, or even some FeIV(O) complexes.

Abstract
The isolation of terminal oxo complexes of the late transition metals promises new avenues in oxidation catalysis like the selective and catalytic hydroxylation of unreactive CH bonds, the activation of water, or the upgrading of olefins. While terminal oxo ligands are ubiquitous for early transition metals, well-characterized examples with group 10 metals remain hitherto elusive. In search for palladium terminal oxo complexes, the relative stability/reactivity of such compounds are evaluated computationally (CASSCF/NEVPT2; DFT). The calculations investigate only well-known ligand systems with established synthetic procedures and relevance for coordination chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. They delineate and quantify, which electronic properties of ancillary ligands are crucial for taming otherwise highly reactive terminal oxo intermediates. Notably, carbene ligands with both strong σ-donor and strong π-acceptor properties are best suited for the stabilization of palladium(ii) terminal oxo complexes, whereas ligands with a weaker ligand field lead to highly reactive complexes. Strongly donating ligands are an excellent choice for high-valent palladium(iv) terminal oxo compounds. Low coordinate palladium(ii) as well as high-valent palladium(iv) complexes are best suited for the activation of strong bonds.

Abstract
Water oxidation is catalysed in Nature by a redox cofactor embedded in a hydrogen-bonded network designed to orchestrate proton transfer throughout the challenging 4 electron reaction.
Water oxidation is catalysed in Nature by a redox cofactor embedded in a hydrogen-bonded network designed to orchestrate proton transfer throughout the challenging 4 electron reaction. In order to mimic aspects of this microenvironment, [CoLDMA(CH3CN)2][BF4]2 (2) was synthesized, where LDMA is a dipyridyldiamine ligand with two dimethylamine bases in the secondary coordination sphere. Structural characterization of the corresponding aqua complexes establish hydrogen bonding between the bound water and pendant base(s). Cyclic voltammetry of [CoLDMA(CH3CN)2][BF4]2 (2) reveals enhanced oxidative current upon titration with water and controlled potential electrolysis confirms evolution of O2. The related complex [CoLH(CH3CN)2][BF4]2 (1), which has the same primary coordination environment as 2 but lacks pendant bases, is inactive. The structural and electrochemical studies illustrate the role positioned proton relays can play in promoting redox reactivity.

Abstract
Understanding the function of Mn ions in biological and chemical redox catalysis requires precise knowledge of their electronic structure. X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) is an emerging technique with a growing application to biological and biomimetic systems. Here, we report an improved, cost-effective spectrometer used to analyze two biomimetic coordination compounds, [MnIV(OH)2(Me2EBC)]2+ and [MnIV(O)(OH)(Me2EBC)]+, the second of which contains a key MnIV═O structural fragment. Despite having the same formal oxidation state (MnIV) and tetradentate ligands, XES spectra from these two compounds demonstrate different electronic structures. Experimental measurements and DFT calculations yield different localized spin densities for the two complexes resulting from MnIV-OH conversion to MnIV═O. The relevance of the observed spectroscopic changes is discussed for applications in analyzing complex biological systems such as photosystem II. A model of the S3 intermediate state of photosystem II containing a MnIV═O fragment is compared to recent time-resolved X-ray diffraction data of the same state.

Abstract
Readily exchangeable water molecules are commonly found in the active sites of oxidoreductases, yet the overwhelming majority of studies on small-molecule mimics of these enzymes entirely ignores the contribution of water to the reactivity. Studies of how these enzymes can continue to function in spite of the presence of highly oxidizing species are likewise limited. The mononuclear MnII complex with the potentially hexadentate ligand N-(2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzyl)-N,N',N'-tris(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (LOH) was previously found to act as both a H2O2-responsive MRI contrast agent and a mimic of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Here, we studied this complex in aqueous solutions at different pH values in order to determine its (i) acid-base equilibria, (ii) coordination equilibria, (iii) substitution lability and operative mechanisms for water exchange, (iv) redox behavior and ability to participate in proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions, (v) SOD activity and reductive activity toward both oxygen and superoxide, and (vi) mechanism for its transformation into the binuclear MnII complex with (H)OL-LOH and its hydroxylated derivatives. The conclusions drawn from potentiometric titrations, low-temperature mass spectrometry, temperature- and pressure-dependent 17O NMR spectroscopy, electrochemistry, stopped-flow kinetic analyses, and EPR measurements were supported by the structural characterization and quantum chemical analysis of proposed intermediate species. These comprehensive studies enabled us to determine how transiently bound water molecules impact the rate and mechanism of SOD catalysis. Metal-bound water molecules facilitate the PCET necessary for outer-sphere SOD activity. The absence of the water ligand, conversely, enables the inner-sphere reduction of both superoxide and dioxygen. The LOH complex maintains its SOD activity in the presence of •OH and MnIV-oxo species by channeling these oxidants toward the synthesis of a functionally equivalent binuclear MnII species.

Abstract
Known as an excellent energy storage material, ZnMn2O4 has a wide range of applications in supercapacitors. In this report, a special sandwich-like structure of ZnMn2O4/C has been first designed and synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method and subsequent calcinations. The designed special sandwich-like structure can benefit ion exchange and remit the probable volume changes during a mass of electrochemical reactions. Furthermore, the porous carbon nanosheets, derived from low-cost glucose, can effectively increase ion flux. Therefore, the novel sandwich-like ZnMn2O4 nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanosheets can undoubtedly demonstrate an exceptional electrochemical performance for SCs. In this work, the composite material with porous sandwich-like structure exhibits excellent cyclic stability for 5000 cycles (∼5% loss) and high specific capacitance of 1786 F g-1.

Abstract
X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to probe the ground-state electronic structures of mononuclear Mn(IV) complexes [Mn(IV)(OH)2(Me2EBC)](2+) and [Mn(IV)(O)(OH)(Me2EBC)](+). These compounds are known to effect C-H bond oxidation reactions by a hydrogen-atom transfer mechanism. They provide an ideal system for comparing Mn(IV)-hydroxo versus Mn(IV)-oxo motifs, as they differ by only a proton. Simulations of 5 K EPR data, along with analysis of variable-temperature EPR signal intensities, allowed for the estimation of ground-state zero-field splitting (ZFS) and (55)Mn hyperfine parameters for both complexes. From this analysis, it was concluded that the Mn(IV)-oxo complex [Mn(IV)(O)(OH)(Me2EBC)](+) has an axial ZFS parameter D (D = +1.2(0.4) cm(-1)) and rhombicity (E/D = 0.22(1)) perturbed relative to the Mn(IV)-hydroxo analogue [Mn(IV)(OH)2(Me2EBC)](2+) (|D| = 0.75(0.25) cm(-1); E/D = 0.15(2)), although the complexes have similar (55)Mn values (a = 7.7 and 7.5 mT, respectively). The ZFS parameters for [Mn(IV)(OH)2(Me2EBC)](2+) were compared with values obtained previously through variable-temperature, variable-field magnetic circular dichroism (VTVH MCD) experiments. While the VTVH MCD analysis can provide a reasonable estimate of the magnitude of D, the E/D values were poorly defined. Using the ZFS parameters reported for these complexes and five other mononuclear Mn(IV) complexes, we employed coupled-perturbed density functional theory (CP-DFT) and complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations with second-order n-electron valence-state perturbation theory (NEVPT2) correction, to compare the ability of these two quantum chemical methods for reproducing experimental ZFS parameters for Mn(IV) centers. The CP-DFT approach was found to provide reasonably acceptable values for D, whereas the CASSCF/NEVPT2 method fared worse, considerably overestimating the magnitude of D in several cases. Both methods were poor in reproducing experimental E/D values. Overall, this work adds to the limited investigations of Mn(IV) ground-state properties and provides an initial assessment for calculating Mn(IV) ZFS parameters with quantum chemical methods.

Abstract
Among the four photo-driven transitions of the water-oxidizing tetramanganese-calcium cofactor of biological photosynthesis, the second-last step of the catalytic cycle, that is the S2 to S3 state transition, is the crucial step that poises the catalyst for the final O-O bond formation. This transition, whose intermediates are not yet fully understood, is a multi-step process that involves the redox-active tyrosine residue and includes oxidation and deprotonation of the catalytic cluster, as well as the binding of a water molecule. Spectroscopic data has the potential to shed light on the sequence of events that comprise this catalytic step, which still lacks a structural interpretation. In this work the S2-S3 state transition is studied and a key intermediate species is characterized: it contains a Mn3O4Ca cubane subunit linked to a five-coordinate Mn(iv) ion that adopts an approximately trigonal bipyramidal ligand field. It is shown using high-level density functional and multireference wave function calculations that this species accounts for the near-infrared absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance observations on metastable S2-S3 intermediates. The results confirm that deprotonation and Mn oxidation of the cofactor must precede the coordination of a water molecule, and lead to identification of a novel low-energy water binding mode that has important implications for the identity of the substrates in the mechanism of biological water oxidation.

Abstract
Herein, we report the formation of a highly reactive nickel-oxygen species that has been trapped following reaction of a Ni(II) precursor bearing a macrocyclic bis(amidate) ligand with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (HmCPBA). This compound is only detectable at temperatures below 250 K and is much more reactive toward organic substrates (i.e., C-H bonds, C=C bonds, and sulfides) than previously reported well-defined nickel-oxygen species. Remarkably, this species is formed by heterolytic O-O bond cleavage of a Ni-HmCPBA precursor, which is concluded from experimental and computational data. On the basis of spectroscopy and DFT calculations, this reactive species is proposed to be a Ni(III) -oxyl compound.

Abstract
In the context of a global artificial photosynthesis (GAP) project, we review our current work on nature's water splitting catalyst. In a recent report (Cox et al. 2014 Science 345, 804-808 (doi:10.1126/science.1254910)), we showed that the catalyst-a Mn4O5Ca cofactor-converts into an 'activated' form immediately prior to the O-O bond formation step. This activated state, which represents an all Mn(IV) complex, is similar to the structure observed by X-ray crystallography but requires the coordination of an additional water molecule. Such a structure locates two oxygens, both derived from water, in close proximity, which probably come together to form the product O2 molecule. We speculate that formation of the activated catalyst state requires inherent structural flexibility. These features represent new design criteria for the development of biomimetic and bioinspired model systems for water splitting catalysts using first-row transition metals with the aim of delivering globally deployable artificial photosynthesis technologies.

Abstract
Photosynthetic water oxidation is catalyzed by a Mn4O5Ca cluster with an unprecedented arrangement of metal ions in which a single manganese center is bonded to a distorted Mn3O4Ca cubane-like structure. Several mechanistic proposals describe the unique manganese center as a site for water binding and subsequent formation of a high valent Mn-oxo center that reacts with a M-OH unit (M = Mn or CaII) to form the O-O bond. The conversion of low valent Mn-OHn (n = 1,2) to a Mn-oxo species requires that a single manganese site be able to accommodate several oxidation states as the water ligand is deprotonated. To study these processes, the preparation and characterization of a new monomeric MnIV-OH complex is described. The MnIV-OH complex completes a series of well characterized Mn-OH and Mn-oxo complexes containing the same primary and secondary coordination spheres; this work thus demonstrates that a single ligand can support mononuclear Mn complexes spanning four different oxidation states (II through V) with oxo and hydroxo ligands that are derived from water. Moreover, we have completed a thermodynamic analysis based on this series of manganese complexes to predict the formation of high valent Mn-oxo species; we demonstrated that the conversion of a MnIV-OH species to a MnV-oxo complex would likely occur via a stepwise proton transfer-electron transfer mechanism. The large dissociation energy for the MnIVO-H bond (~95 kcal/mol) diminished the likelihood that other pathways are operative within a biological context. Furthermore, these studies showed that reactions between Mn-OH and Mn-oxo complexes lead to non-productive, one-electron processes suggesting that initial O-O bond formation with the OEC does not involve an Mn-OH unit.

Abstract
The catalytic reactivity of the high-spin Mn(II) pyridinophane complexes [(Py2NR2)Mn(H2O)2](2+) (R=H, Me, tBu) toward O2 formation is reported. With small macrocycle N-substituents (R=H, Me), the complexes catalytically disproportionate H2O2 in aqueous solution; with a bulky substituent (R=tBu), this catalytic reaction is shut down, but the complex becomes active for aqueous electrocatalytic H2O oxidation. Control experiments are in support of a homogeneous molecular catalyst and preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the catalyst is mononuclear. This ligand-controlled switch in catalytic reactivity has implications for the design of new manganese-based water oxidation catalysts.

Abstract
The mononuclear hydroxomanganese(III) complex, [Mn(III)(OH)(dpaq)](+), which is supported by the amide-containing N5 ligand dpaq (dpaq = 2-[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)]amino-N-quinolin-8-yl-acetamidate) was generated by treatment of the manganese(II) species, [Mn(II)(dpaq)](OTf), with dioxygen in acetonitrile solution at 25 °C. This oxygenation reaction proceeds with essentially quantitative yield (greater than 98% isolated yield) and represents a rare example of an O2-mediated oxidation of a manganese(II) complex to generate a single product. The X-ray diffraction structure of [Mn(III)(OH)(dpaq)](+) reveals a short Mn-OH distance of 1.806(13) Å, with the hydroxo moiety trans to the amide function of the dpaq ligand. No shielding of the hydroxo group is observed in the solid-state structure. Nonetheless, [Mn(III)(OH)(dpaq)](+) is remarkably stable, decreasing in concentration by only 10% when stored in MeCN at 25 °C for 1 week. The [Mn(III)(OH)(dpaq)](+) complex participates in proton-coupled electron transfer reactions with substrates with relatively weak O-H and C-H bonds. For example, [Mn(III)(OH)(dpaq)](+) oxidizes TEMPOH (TEMPOH = 2,2'-6,6'-tetramethylpiperidine-1-ol), which has a bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of 66.5 kcal/mol, in MeCN at 25 °C. The hydrogen/deuterium kinetic isotope effect of 1.8 observed for this reaction implies a concerted proton-electron transfer pathway. The [Mn(III)(OH)(dpaq)](+) complex also oxidizes xanthene (C-H BDFE of 73.3 kcal/mol in dimethylsulfoxide) and phenols, such as 2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenol, with BDFEs of less than 79 kcal/mol. Saturation kinetics were observed for phenol oxidation, implying an initial equilibrium prior to the rate-determining step. On the basis of a collective body of evidence, the equilibrium step is attributed to the formation of a hydrogen-bonding complex between [Mn(III)(OH)(dpaq)](+) and the phenol substrates.

Abstract
![]()
Mn K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(XAS) was used to gain insights into the geometric and electronic
structures of [MnII(Cl)2(Me2EBC)], [MnIV(OH)2(Me2EBC)]2+, and [MnIV(O)(OH)(Me2EBC)]+, which are all supported by the tetradentate, macrocyclic
Me2EBC ligand (Me2EBC = 4,11-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazabicyclo[6.6.2]hexadecane).
Analysis of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data
for [MnIV(O)(OH)(Me2EBC)]+ revealed
Mn–O scatterers at 1.71 and 1.84 Å and Mn–N scatterers
at 2.11 Å, providing the first unambiguous support for the formulation
of this species as an oxohydroxomanganese(IV) adduct. EXAFS-determined
structural parameters for [MnII(Cl)2(Me2EBC)] and [MnIV(OH)2(Me2EBC)]2+ are consistent with previously reported crystal
structures. The Mn pre-edge energies and intensities of these complexes
were examined within the context of data for other oxo- and hydroxomanganese(IV)
adducts, and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) computations
were used to predict pre-edge properties for all compounds considered.
This combined experimental and computational analysis revealed a correlation
between the Mn–O(H) distances and pre-edge peak areas of MnIV=O and MnIV–OH complexes, but this
trend was strongly modulated by the MnIV coordination geometry.
Mn 3d-4p mixing, which primarily accounts for the pre-edge intensities,
is not solely a function of the Mn–O(H) bond length; the coordination
geometry also has a large effect on the distribution of pre-edge intensity.
For tetragonal MnIV=O centers, more than 90% of
the pre-edge intensity comes from excitations to the Mn=O σ*
MO. Trigonal bipyramidal oxomanganese(IV) centers likewise feature
excitations to the Mn=O σ* molecular orbital (MO) but
also show intense transitions to 3dx2–y2 and 3dxy MOs because of enhanced 3d-4px,y mixing. This gives rise to a broader pre-edge feature for trigonal
MnIV=O adducts. These results underscore the importance
of reporting experimental pre-edge areas rather than peak heights.
Finally, the TD-DFT method was applied to understand the pre-edge
properties of a recently reported S = 1 MnV=O adduct; these findings are discussed within the context
of previous examinations of oxomanganese(V) complexes. Experimental and theoretical studies were performed to correlate
the Mn pre-K-edge data for MnIV=O and MnIV−OH adducts with geometric and electronic structure. Mn 3d-4p
mixing, which primarily accounts for the pre-edge intensities, is
not solely a function of the Mn−O(H) bond length but is modulated
by the coordination geometry. Thus, depending on the specifics of
the ligand field, MnIV−OH, MnIV=O,
and even MnV=O species can show pre-edge peaks of
comparable area and height.

Abstract
The protonation state of oxo bridges in nature is of profound importance for a variety of enzymes, including the Mn4CaO5 cluster of photosystem II and the Mn2O2 cluster in Mn catalase. A set of dinuclear bis-μ-oxo-bridged Mn(IV) complexes in different protonation states was studied by Kβ emission spectroscopy to form the foundation for unraveling the protonation states in the native complex. The valence-to-core regions (valence-to-core XES) of the spectra show significant changes in intensity and peak position upon protonation. DFT calculations were performed to simulate the valence-to-core XES spectra and to assign the spectral features to specific transitions. The Kβ(2,5) peaks arise primarily from the ligand 2p to Mn 1s transitions, with a characteristic low energy shoulder appearing upon oxo-bridge protonation. The satellite Kβ" peak provides a more direct signature of the protonation state change, since the transitions originating from the 2s orbitals of protonated and unprotonated μ-oxo bridges dominate this spectral region. The energies of the Kβ" features differ by ~3 eV and thus are well resolved in the experimental spectra. Additionally, our work explores the chemical resolution limits of the method, namely, whether a mixed (μ-O)(μ-OH2) motif can be distinguished from a symmetric (μ-OH)2 one. The results reported here highlight the sensitivity of Kβ valence-to-core XES to single protonation state changes of bridging ligands, and form the basis for further studies of oxo-bridged polymetallic complexes and metalloenzyme active sites. In a complementary paper, the results from X-ray absorption spectroscopy of the same Mn(IV) dimer series are discussed.

Abstract
Photosystem II (PSII), a multisubunit pigment-protein supercomplex found in cyanobacteria, algae, and plants, catalyzes a unique reaction in nature: the light-driven oxidation of water. Remarkable recent advances in the structural analysis of PSII now give a detailed picture of the static supercomplex on the molecular level. These data provide a solid foundation for future functional studies, in particular the mechanism of water oxidation and oxygen release. The catalytic core of the PSII is a tetramanganese-calcium cluster (Mn₄O₅Ca), commonly referred to as the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC). The function of the OEC rests on its ability to cycle through five metastable states (Si, i = 0-4), transiently storing four oxidizing equivalents, and in so doing, facilitates the four electron water splitting reaction. While the latest crystallographic model of PSII gives an atomic picture of the OEC, the exact connectivity within the inorganic core and the S-state(s) that the X-ray model represents remain uncertain. In this Account, we describe our joint experimental and theoretical efforts to eliminate these ambiguities by combining the X-ray data with spectroscopic constraints and introducing computational modeling. We are developing quantum chemical methods to predict electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters for transition metal clusters, especially focusing on spin-projection approaches combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We aim to resolve the geometric and electronic structures of all S-states, correlating their structural features with spectroscopic observations to elucidate reactivity. The sequence of manganese oxidations and concomitant charge compensation events via proton transfer allow us to rationalize the multielectron S-state cycle. EPR spectroscopy combined with theoretical calculations provides a unique window into the tetramangenese complex, in particular its protonation states and metal ligand sphere evolution, far beyond the scope of static techniques such as X-ray crystallography. This approach has led, for example, to a detailed understanding of the EPR signals in the S₂-state of the OEC in terms of two interconvertible, isoenergetic structures. These two structures differ in their valence distribution and spin multiplicity, which has important consequences for substrate binding and may explain its low barrier exchange with solvent water. New experimental techniques and innovative sample preparations are beginning to unravel the complex sequence of substrate uptake/inclusion, which is coupled to proton release. The introduction of specific site perturbations, such as replacing Ca²⁺ with Sr²⁺, provides discrete information about the ligand environment of the individual Mn ions. In this way, we have identified a potential open coordination site for one Mn center, which may serve as a substrate binding site in the higher S-states, such as S₃ and S₄. In addition, we can now monitor the binding of the substrate water in the lower S-states (S₁ and S₂) using new EPR-detected NMR spectroscopies. These studies provided the first evidence that one of the substrates is subsumed into the complex itself and forms an oxo-bridge between two Mn ions. This result places important new restrictions on the mechanism of O-O bond formation. These new insights from nature's water splitting catalyst provide important criteria for the rational design of bioinspired synthetic catalysts.

Abstract
A mononuclear non-heme manganese(IV)-oxo complex has been synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic methods. The Mn(IV)-oxo complex shows high reactivity in oxidation reactions, such as C-H bond activation, oxidations of olefins, alcohols, sulfides, and aromatic compounds, and N-dealkylation. In C-H bond activation, the Mn(IV)-oxo complex can activate C-H bonds as strong as those in cyclohexane. It is proposed that C-H bond activation by the non-heme Mn(IV)-oxo complex does not occur via an oxygen-rebound mechanism. The electrophilic character of the non-heme Mn(IV)-oxo complex is demonstrated by a large negative ρ value of -4.4 in the oxidation of para-substituted thioanisoles.

Abstract
Protonation states of water ligands and oxo bridges are intimately involved in tuning the electronic structures and oxidation potentials of the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) in Photosystem II, steering the mechanistic pathway, which involves at least five redox state intermediates S(n) (n = 0-4) resulting in the oxidation of water to molecular oxygen. Although protons are practically invisible in protein crystallography, their effects on the electronic structure and magnetic properties of metal active sites can be probed using spectroscopy. With the twin purpose of aiding the interpretation of the complex electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic data of the OEC and of improving the view of the cluster at the atomic level, a complete set of protonation configurations for the S(2) state of the OEC were investigated, and their distinctive effects on magnetic properties of the cluster were evaluated. The most recent X-ray structure of Photosystem II at 1.9 Å resolution was used and refined to obtain the optimum structure for the Mn(4)O(5)Ca core within the protein pocket. Employing this model, a set of 26 structures was constructed that tested various protonation scenarios of the water ligands and oxo bridges. Our results suggest that one of the two water molecules that are proposed to coordinate the outer Mn ion (Mn(A)) of the cluster is deprotonated in the S(2) state, as this leads to optimal experimental agreement, reproducing the correct ground state spin multiplicity (S = 1/2), spin expectation values, and EXAFS-derived metal-metal distances. Deprotonation of Ca(2+)-bound water molecules is strongly disfavored in the S(2) state, but dissociation of one of the two water ligands appears to be facile. The computed isotropic hyperfine couplings presented here allow distinctions between models to be made and call into question the assumption that the largest coupling is always attributable to Mn(III). The present results impose limits for the total charge and the proton configuration of the OEC in the S(2) state, with implications for the cascade of events in the Kok cycle and for the water splitting mechanism.
