In aqueous solution above pH 2.4 with 4% (vol/vol) CH3CN, the complex [RuII(bda)(isoq)2] (bda is 2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxylate; isoq is isoquinoline) exists as the open-arm chelate, [RuII(CO2-bpy-CO2−)(isoq)2(NCCH3)], as shown by 1H and 13C-NMR, X-ray crystallography, and pH titrations. Rates of water oxidation with the open-arm chelate are remarkably enhanced by added proton acceptor bases, as measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV). In 1.0 M PO43–, the calculated half-time for water oxidation is ∼7 μs. The key to the rate accelerations with added bases is direct involvement of the buffer base in either atom–proton transfer (APT) or concerted electron–proton transfer (EPT) pathways.

Preferential exposure of Si-face of SiC will mechanistically shift the rate limiting step of water oxidation from sluggish proton-coupled electron transfer on C-face to a more energy-favorable electron transfer.

When photosynthetic organisms developed so that they could use water as an electron source to reduce carbon dioxide, the stage was set for efficient proliferation. Algae and plants spread globally and provided the foundation for our atmosphere and for O 2 –based chemistry in biological systems. Light–driven water oxidation is catalysed by photosystem II, the active site of which contains a redox–active tyrosine denoted Y Z , a tetramanganese cluster, calcium and chloride. In 1995, Gerald Babcock and co–workers presented the hypothesis that photosynthetic water oxidation occurs as a metallo–radical catalysed process. In this model, the oxidized tyrosine radical is generated by coupled proton/electron transfer and re–reduced by abstracting hydrogen atoms from substrate water or hydroxide–ligated to the manganese cluster. The proposed function of Y Z requires proton transfer from the tyrosine site upon oxidation. The oxidation mechanism of Y Z in an inhibited and O 2 –evolving photosystem II is discussed. Domino–deprotonation from Y Z to the bulk solution is shown to be consistent with a variety of data obtained on metal–depleted samples. Experimental data that suggest that the oxidation of Y Z in O 2 –evolving samples is coupled to proton transfer in a hydrogen–bonding network are described. Finally, a dielectric–dependent model for the proton release that is associated with the catalytic cycle of photosystem II is discussed.
