AAAlireza Ariafard MLMatthew Longhurst GSGerhard F. Swiegers

Key Points

The study investigates the conditions under which the Ox ligand stabilizes in the S₃ state of photosystem II.
Conducted DFT calculations within the low oxidation state framework
Analyzed the behavior of Ox under specific Mn1–ligand restraints
Ox ligand is conditionally stabilized while adhering to Mn1–ligand restraints
Ox disappears under certain conditions in the S₃ state

Abstract

DFT calculations within the low oxidation state (LOS) framework reveal that the Ox ligand in the S₃ state of photosystem II is conditionally stabilised, appearing under Mn1–ligand restraints and vanishing...
