A Biomimetic Model of the Electron Transfer between P680 and the TyrZ-His190 Pair of PSII
Résumé
Artificial photosynthesis: The first photoelectron trade between P680 and the TyrZ-His190 pair of Photosystem II was modeled by a ruthenium(II) trisbipyridine type complex that contains a phenol hydrogen atom bonded to an imidazole group. The photogenerated phenoxyl radical has been characterized. This opens up the way for a more complete biomimetic model of Photosystem II.
