Integrating proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) and excited states

TLDR
In this article, a photoelectrochemical synthesis cell (DS-PEC) is proposed for coupled, light driven oxidation and reduction in artificial photosynthesis, where photolysis of organic charge transfer excited states with H-bonded bases or in metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states in pre-associated assemblies with H bonded electron transfer donors or acceptors.

Chemical approaches to artificial photosynthesis

TL;DR: In the early 1970s, the works by Fujishima and Honda (1) and Honda et al. (2) reported on the results of a now famous experiment that showed that band gap excitation of anatase TiO2 in a photoelectrochemical cell with a Pt counter electrode and an applied bias resulted in water splitting into hydrogen and oxygen.

Architecture of the Photosynthetic Oxygen-Evolving Center

TL;DR: The data strongly suggest that the OEC contains a cubane-like Mn3CaO4 cluster linked to a fourth Mn by a mono-μ-oxo bridge, and the details of the surrounding coordination sphere of the metal cluster and the implications for a possible oxygen-evolving mechanism are discussed.
