We have used Mn K-edge absorption and Kbeta emission spectroscopy to determine the oxidation states of the Mn complex in the various S states. We have started exploring the new technique of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy; this technique can be characterized as a Raman process that uses K-edge energies (1s to 4p, ca. 6550 eV) to obtain L-edge-like spectra (2p to 3d, ca. 650 eV). The relevance of these data to the oxidation states and structure of the Mn complex is presented. We have obtained extended X-ray absorption fine structure data from the S(0) and S(3) states and observed heterogeneity in the Mn-Mn distances leading us to conclude that there may be three rather than two di-mu-oxo-bridged units present per tetranuclear Mn cluster. In addition, we have obtained data using Ca and Sr X-ray spectroscopy that provide evidence for a heteronuclear Mn-Ca cluster. The possibility of three di-mu-oxo-bridged Mn-Mn moieties and the proximity of Ca is incorporated into developing structural models for the Mn cluster. The involvement of bridging and terminal O ligands of Mn in the mechanism of oxygen evolution is discussed in the context of our X-ray spectroscopy results.
我们利用锰K边吸收光谱和Kβ发射光谱来确定锰配合物在不同S态下的氧化态。我们已开始探索共振非弹性X射线散射光谱这项新技术;该技术可被描述为一种拉曼过程,它利用K边能量(1s到4p,约6550电子伏特)来获取类L边光谱(2p到3d,约650电子伏特)。展示了这些数据与锰配合物的氧化态和结构的相关性。我们已从S(0)态和S(3)态获得了扩展X射线吸收精细结构数据,并观察到锰-锰距离存在异质性,这使我们得出结论,每个四核锰簇中可能存在三个而非两个双μ-氧桥联单元。此外,我们利用钙和锶X射线光谱获得了数据,这些数据为异核锰-钙簇提供了证据。三个双μ-氧桥联锰-锰部分的可能性以及钙的接近性被纳入到锰簇结构模型的构建中。结合我们的X射线光谱结果,讨论了锰的桥联和末端氧配体在析氧机制中的作用。
