During the course of evolution, plants developed the capability of capturing and utilizing the solar radiation. These plants gained an evolutionary advantage over those that have not developed these traits. Light besides being an important source of energy also controls many developmental processes like photoperiodism, phototropism and photomorphogenesis of plant growth. Oxygen in the atmosphere is generally believed to come from light induced water-splitting that occurs in oxyphotosynthetic organisms catalysed by the oxygen evolving centre of photosystem II. To optimize both the roles of light, plants evolved complex system and the most established higher plants photoautotrophic mode of nutrition is responsible for establishing and sustaining the human civilization.

AbstractPhotosystem II (PSII) contains Ca2+, which is essential to the oxygen-evolving activity of the catalytic Mn4CaO5 complex. Replacement of Ca2+ with other redox-inactive metals results in a loss/decrease of oxygen-evolving activity. To investigate the role of Ca2+ in this catalytic reaction, we investigate artificial Mn3[M]O2 clusters redox-inactive metals  [M] ([M]  = Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Sr2+, and Y3+), which were synthesized by Tsui et al. (Nat Chem 5:293, 2013). The experimentally measured redox potentials (Em) of these clusters are best described by the energy of their highest occupied molecular orbitals. Quantum chemical calculations showed that the valence of metals predominantly affects Em(MnIII/IV), whereas the ionic radius of metals affects Em(MnIII/IV) only slightly.
