| Light-Induced Valence Change of a Manganese-Containing Chlorophyll Derivative  | | | | Abstract
| K3(Mn-(III)-chlorin e6) acetate, a water-soluble chlorophyll derivative with manganese as central atom was prepared. The influence o f reducing agents, light, and bicarbonate on the oxida tion states of manganese in the chlorin complex was investigated. In alkaline solutions the central Mn3+ was reducible to Mn2+. The illumination of the partially reduced complex first accelerated the reduction (light reduction: Mn3+ -> Mn2+), which was then followed by a strong reoxidation (light oxidation: Mn2+ -* Mn3+) continuing after switching off the light. This redox effect o f light was obtained only in presence o f hydroxylamine as reducing agent. Illumination time, intensity, and frequency had an influence on this effect. In the light/dark change the process was reversible. In regard to the requirement of manganese for the photosynthetic oxygen evolution the observed valence change o f manganese in the chlorin complex was compared to the supposed reaction mechanism on the donor side o f photosystem II. | | | |
