A brief overview is given of the research which led to the discovery of the period-4 oscillations of the flash-induced oxygen production and which is the basis of the generally accepted Kok's model for water splitting and oxygen evolution.In this paper I discuss the earlier work of the groups of Robert Emerson, James Franck, C. P. Whittingham, and myself in relation to the development of new techniques for the detection of photosynthetic oxygen evolution. Also discussed are various hypotheses and speculations related to the concept of a priming photoreaction which is required for oxygen evolution. Finally, I discuss my long scientific collaboration with Bessel Kok which led to the elaboration by Kok of the classical model in which the formation of oxygen requires the sequential accumulation of four positive charges on the same photochemical center.
简要概述了导致闪光诱导氧气产生的 4 周期振荡发现的研究，这是普遍接受的 Kok 水分解和氧气产生模型的基础。在本文中，我讨论了罗伯特·爱默生（Robert Emerson）、詹姆斯·弗兰克（James Franck）、C.P.惠廷厄姆（C. P. Whittingham）和我自己的小组在开发用于检测光合作用氧气产生的新技术方面的早期工作。还讨论了与引发光反应的概念相关的各种假设和推测，该反应是氧气产生所必需的。最后，我讨论了我与 Bessel Kok 的长期科学合作，这导致了 Kok 对经典模型的阐述，其中氧气的形成需要在同一个光化学中心上顺序积累四个正电荷。
