Ligands play critical roles during the catalytic reactions in inorganic systems and in metalloproteins through bond formation and breaking, protonation and deprotonation, and electron and spin delocalization. There are well-defined element-specific spectroscopic handles, such as X-ray spectroscopy and EPR spectroscopy, to follow the chemistry of metal catalytic sites. However, directly probing particular ligand atoms such as C, N, and O, especially in a large protein matrix, is challenging owing to their abundance in the protein. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy and ligand-sensitive EPR spectroscopy techniques such as ENDOR and ESEEM have been applied to study metal–ligand interactions. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) can also probe the ligand environment; its element-specificity allows us to focus only on the catalytic metal site, and EXAFS and XANES provide metal–ligand distances, coordination numbers, and symmetry of ligand environments. However, the information is limited, because it is impossible to distinguish among ligand elements with similar atomic number (ie C, N, and O). As an alternative and a more direct method to probe the specific metal–ligand chemistry in the protein matrix, we investigated the application of X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES). Using this technique, we have identified the oxo bridging ligands of the Mn4Ca complex of photosystem II (PS II), a multisubunit membrane protein that catalyzes the water-oxidizing reaction in photosynthesis.[1] The catalytic mechanism has been studied intensively by manganese XAS.[2] The fundamental challenge, however, is to learn how the water molecules are ligated to the Mn4Ca cluster and how OÀO bond formation occurs before the evolution of O2.[3–5] This implies that it is necessary to monitor the chemistry of the oxygen ligands to understand the mechanism.XES, which is a complementary method to XAS, has the potential to directly probe ligation modes.[6] Among the several emission lines, Kβ1, 3 and Kβо lines originate from the metal 3p to 1s transition, and they have been used as an indicator of the charge and spin states on Mn in the oxygenevolving complex (OEC; Figure1).[7, 8] The higher-energy
