Abstract

AbstractAll higher life forms use oxygen and respiration as their primary energy source. The oxygen comes from water by solar‐energy conversion in photosynthetic membranes. In green plants, light absorption in photosystem II (PSII) drives electron‐transfer activation of the oxygen‐evolving complex (OEC). The mechanism of water oxidation by the OEC has long been a subject of great interest to biologists and chemists. With the availability of new molecular‐level protein structures from X‐ray crystallography and EXAFS, as well as the accumulated results from numerous experiments and theoretical studies, it is possible to suggest how water may be oxidized at the OEC. An integrated sequence of light‐driven reactions that exploit coupled electron–proton transfer (EPT) could be the key to water oxidation. When these reactions are combined with long‐range proton transfer (by sequential local proton transfers), it may be possible to view the OEC as an intricate structure that is “wired for protons”.

  205. In water the equilibrium defining acidity is HA+H2O⇌H3O++A−andKa(HA)=(a/ao) (a/ao)/(aHA/aHAo) in whichaetc. are the activities of the components at equilibrium andaoetc. are the activities of the components in their standard states. In dilute solution under ideal conditions Ka(HA)=[H3O+][A−]/[HA]. For the acidity of H3O+in H2O H3O++H2O⇌H3O++H2O K=1. To compare the acidity of H3O+with HA it is necessary to include the concentration of water in water (55.5 Mat 25 °C) withKa(H3O+)=K[H3O+]=55.5 Mand pKa(H3O+)=−1.74. A related argument leads to pKa(H2O)=15.7 through the equilibrium 2 H2O⇌H3O++OH−andKw=10−14.
