Abstract
Developing Mn-based water-oxidation reaction (WOR) catalysts is key for renewable energy storage, utilizing Mn's abundance, cost-effectiveness, and natural role. Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) has been widely utilized as a sacrificial oxidant in the exploration of WOR catalysts. In this study, advanced techniques, such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), in situ Raman spectroscopy, and in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), to delve into the WOR facilitated by CAN and birnessite were employed. XANES analysis has demonstrated that the average oxidation states (AOSs) of Mn in birnessite, a birnessite/CAN mixture, and in the birnessite/CAN mixture postwater addition are 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9, respectively. In situ Raman spectroscopy performed in the presence of birnessite and CAN revealed a distinct peak at 784 cm-1, which is attributed to Mn(IV)═O. A shift of this peak to 769 cm-1 in H218O confirms its association with Mn(IV)═O. No change in this peak was observed in D2O, further supporting the notion that it is linked to Mn(IV)═O rather than Mn-OH (D). Furthermore, EPR spectroscopy shows the presence of Mn(IV). It is suggested that the WOR mechanism initiates with the oxidation of birnessite by CAN, which enhances the concentration of Mn(IV) sites in the birnessite structure. Under acidic conditions, birnessite, enriched in Mn(IV), facilitates oxygen evolution and subsequently transitions into a form with reduced Mn(IV) levels. This process highlights the critical function of the Mn (hydr)oxide structure, similar to its role in the water-oxidizing complex of Photosystem II, where it serves as charge storage for oxidizing equivalents from CAN, paving the way for a four-electron reaction that drives the WOR.

Abstract
Water splitting, producing of oxygen, and hydrogen molecules, is an essential reaction for clean energy resources and is one of the challenging reactions for artificial photosynthesis. The Mn4Ca cluster in photosystem II (PS-II) is responsible for water oxidation in natural photosynthesis. Due to this, water oxidation reaction by Mn coordination compounds is vital for mimicking the active core of the oxygen-evolving complex in PS-II. Here, a new dinuclear Mn(II)-semicarbohydrazone coordination compound, [Mn(HL)(µ-N3)Cl]2 (1), was synthesized and characterized by various methods. The structure of compound 1 was determined by single crystal X-ray analysis, which revealed the Mn(II) ions have distorted octahedral geometry as (MnN4OCl). This geometry is created by coordinating of oxygen and two nitrogen donor atoms from semicarbohydrazone ligand, two nitrogen atoms from azide bridges, and chloride anion. Compound 1 was used as a catalyst for electrochemical water oxidation, and the surface of the electrode after the reaction was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and powder X-ray diffraction analyses. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) experiments revealed that the electrode containing 1 shows high activity for chemical water oxidation with an electrochemical overpotential as low as 377 mV. Although our findings showed that the carbon paste electrode in the presence of 1 is an efficient electrode for water oxidation, it could not withstand water oxidation catalysis under bulk electrolysis and finally converted to Mn oxide nanoparticles which were active for water oxidation along with compound 1.

Abstract
This study aimed to screen different winter wheat genotypes at the onset of metabolic changes induced by water deficit to comprehend possible adaptive features of photosynthetic apparatus function and structure to physiological drought. The drought treatment was the most influential variable affecting plant growth and relative water content, and genotype variability determined with what intensity varieties of winter wheat seedlings responded to water deficit. PEG-induced drought, as expected, changed phenomenological energy fluxes and the efficiency with which an electron is transferred to final PSI acceptors. Based on the effect size, fluorescence parameters were grouped to represent photochemical parameters, that is, the donor and acceptor side of PSII (PC1); the thermal phase of the photosynthetic process, or the electron flow around PSI, and the chain of electrons between PSII and PSI (PC2); and phenomenological energy fluxes per cross-section (PC3). Furthermore, four distinct clusters of genotypes were discerned based on their response to imposed physiological drought, and integrated analysis enabled an explanation of their reactions' specificity. The most reliable JIP-test parameters for detecting and comparing the drought impact among tested genotypes were the variable fluorescence at K, L, I step, and PITOT. To conclude, developing and improving screening methods for identifying and evaluating functional relationships of relevant characteristics that are useful for acclimation, acclimatization, and adaptation to different types of drought stress can contribute to the progress in breeding research of winter wheat drought-tolerant lines.

Abstract
So far, many studies on the oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) by Mn oxides have been focused on activity; however, the identification of the best performing active site and corresponding catalytic cycles is also of critical importance. Herein, the real intrinsic activity of layered Mn oxide toward OER in Fe/Ni-free KOH is studied for the first time. At pH ≈ 14, the onset of OER for layered Mn oxide in the presence of Fe/Ni-free KOH happens at 1.72 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)). In the presence of Fe ions, a 190 mV decrease in the overpotential of OER was recorded for layered Mn oxide as well as a significant decrease (from 172.8 to 49 mV/decade) in the Tafel slope. Furthermore, we find that both Ni and Fe ions increase OER remarkably in the presence of layered Mn oxide, but that pure layered Mn oxide is not an efficient catalyst for OER without Ni and Fe under alkaline conditions. Thus, pure layered Mn oxide and electrolytes are critical factors in finding the real intrinsic activity of layered Mn oxide for OER. Our results call into question the high efficiency of layered Mn oxides toward OER under alkaline conditions and also elucidate the significant role of Ni and Fe impurities in the electrolyte in the presence of layered Mn oxide toward OER under alkaline conditions. Overall, a computational model supports the conclusions from the experimental structural and electrochemical characterizations. In particular, substitutional doping with Fe decreases the thermodynamic OER overpotential up to 310 mV. Besides, the thermodynamic OER onset potential calculated for the Fe-free structures is higher than 1.7 V (vs RHE) and, thus, not in the stability range of Mn oxides.

Abstract
Water splitting is a helpful way of converting renewable electricity into fuel. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a slow reaction that provides low-cost electrons for water reduction reactions. Thus, finding an efficient, low-cost, stable, and environmentally friendly OER catalyst is critical for water splitting. Here, sodium cobalticarborane (1) is introduced as a promising precatalyst for forming an OER cobalt-based catalyst. The cobalt-based catalyst was characterized by several methods and is suggested to be Co(III) (hydr)oxide. Using fluorine-doped tin oxide, glassy carbon, platinum, and gold electrodes, the OER activity of the cobalt-based precatalyst was investigated. The overpotential for the onset of OER in the presence of 1 is 315 mV using fluorine-doped tin oxide electrodes. The onsets of OERs in the presence of 1 using gold, platinum, and glassy carbon electrodes in KOH solutions (1.0 M) turned out to be 275, 284, and 330 mV, respectively. The nanoparticles on the gold electrodes exhibit significant OER activity with a Tafel slope of 63.8 mV/decade and an overpotential at 541 mV for 50 mA/cm2. In the case of the glassy carbon electrodes, a Tafel slope of 109.9 mV/decade and an overpotential of 548 mV for 10 mA/cm2 is recorded for the catalyst. This paper outlines an interesting approach to synthesize cobalt oxide for OER through a slow decomposition of a precatalyst.

Abstract
After briefly describing my early collaborative work at the University of Allahabad, that had laid the foundation of my research life, I present here some of our research on photosynthesis at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, randomly selected from light absorption to NADP+ reduction in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. These include the fact that (i) both the light reactions I and II are powered by light absorbed by chlorophyll (Chl) a of different spectral forms; (ii) light emission (fluorescence, delayed fluorescence, and thermoluminescence) by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria provides detailed information on these reactions and beyond; (iii) primary photochemistry in both the photosystems I (PS I) and II (PS II) occurs within a few picoseconds; and (iv) most importantly, bicarbonate plays a unique role on the electron acceptor side of PS II, specifically at the two-electron gate of PS II. Currently, the ongoing research around the world is, and should be, directed towards making photosynthesis better able to deal with the global issues (such as increasing population, dwindling resources, and rising temperature) particularly through genetic modification. However, basic research is necessary to continue to provide us with an understanding of the molecular mechanism of the process and to guide us in reaching our goals of increasing food production and other chemicals we need for our lives.

Abstract
Developing high performance fluorescent chemo-sensors for in vitro and in vivo Al3+ detection is highly desirable, because Al3+ accumulation has been involved to various diseases. Herein, we report a highly selective and sensitive Schiff base fluorescent probe, H3L, based on 2-hydroxynaphthalene, which can recognize aluminum ions and exhibit an "off-on" mode with high selectivity in methanol solutions. The detection limit of the probe for Al3+ is as low as 10-7 M which was determined by fluorescent titration. The high selectivity and high sensitivity of H3L for Al3+ are attributed to the inhibition of ESIPT. Additionally, the distribution of intracellular Al3+ ions could be observed under confocal fluorescence microscopy. Moreover, we also applied H3L for in vivo detection of Al3+ ions in living zebrafish larvae.

Abstract
Nanolayered Mn oxides have been prepared by a very simple, low-cost and high-yield method using soap, KOH, MnCl2 and H2O2. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction spectrometry have been used to characterize the phase and the morphology of the nanolayered Mn oxide. The nanolayered Mn oxide shows good catalytic activity toward water oxidation in the presence of cerium(iv) ammonium nitrate.

Abstract
For the first time, we considered Mn oxide/C60 composites as water-oxidizing catalysts. The composites were synthesized by easy and simple procedures, and characterized by some methods. The water-oxidizing activities of these composites were also measured in the presence of cerium(iv) ammonium nitrate. We found that the nanolayered Mn oxide/C60 composites show promising activity toward water oxidation.

Abstract
Eighteen Mn complexes with N-donor and carboxylate ligands have been synthesized and characterized. Three Mn complexes among them are new and are reported for the first time. The reactions of oxygen evolution in the presence of oxone (2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4) and cerium(iv) ammonium nitrate catalyzed by these complexes are studied and characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, membrane-inlet mass spectrometry and electrochemistry. Some of these complexes evolve oxygen in the presence of oxone as a primary oxidant. CO2 and MnO4(-) are other products of these reactions. Based on spectroscopic studies, the true catalysts for oxygen evolution in these reactions are different. We proposed that for the oxygen evolution reactions in the presence of oxone, the true catalysts are both high valent Mn complexes and Mn oxides, but for the reactions in the presence of cerium(iv) ammonium nitrate, the active catalyst is most probably a Mn oxide.

Abstract
A chemosensor for the Al(3+) ion, 1-[(3-hydroxypyridin-2-ylamino)methylene]naphthalen-2(1H)-one (H2L), based on inhibited excited-state intramolecular proton transfer was synthesized. The experimental and theoretical calculations at B3LYP+PCM/6-31G(d) revealed that Al(3+) and H2L form a 1:1 complex, [AlL(OH)(H2O)]2, in dimethyl sulfoxide that exhibits two remarkably enhanced fluorescent emissions at 523 and 553 nm. It is confirmed that H2L could be used to detect Al(3+) ions in cells by bioimaging.
