Abstract

The FT-IR difference spectra of isostructural multinuclear manganese carboxylate complexes which differ in manganese oxidation levels are described and compared against similar spectra which accompany the S-state transitions of the photosynthetic Mn. Analysis of the spectra indicate that a knowledge of the Mn oxidation states is essential for the proper assignment of the coordination mode of carboxylate ligands and that previous attempts to identify coordination modes of carboxylate ligands to the photosynthetic Mn are premature.
