Popis: The redox properties of the "dimer-of-dimers" complex, [{Mn2(mu-O)2(tphpn)}2]4+ (1) (where Htphpn = N,N,N',N'-tetra(2-methylpyridyl)-2-hydroxypropane-diamine) were investigated. The structure changes dramatically to an adamantane-shaped core upon one-electron oxidation. On the other hand, the one-electron reduced product of 1, [Mn4O4(tphpn)2]3+, exhibits a hyperfine-structured multiline EPR signal very similar to the so-called S0 state of the tetramanganese cluster, which resides at the Photosystem II water oxidase active site.
