Abstract
X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra of the manganese (Mn) cluster in physiologically native intermediate states of photosynthetic water oxidation induced by short laser flash were measured with a compact heat-insulated chamber equipped with an x-ray detector near the sample surface. The half-height energy of the Mn K-edge showed a period-four oscillation dependent on cycling of the Joliot-Kok's oxygen clock. The flash number-dependent shift in the Mn K-edge suggests that the Mn cluster is oxidized by one electron upon the S 0 -to-S 1 , S 1 -to-S 2 , and S 2 -to-S 3 transitions and then reduced upon the S 3 -to-S 0 transition that releases molecular oxygen.Keywords
