Conclusions The data presented in this paper show that the S2 state EPR signals from the OEC arise from the interaction of more than one paramagnetic site. However, our temperature dependence data cannot be accounted for by a simple Mn dimer model, unless such a dimer arises from a ferromagnetic exchange coupling of low-spin forms of Mn. As noted above, low-spin Mn complexes are rare and not likely to be present in the OEC. A more reasonable model for the species giving rise to the S2 state EPR signal isone in which an antiferromagnetically exchange coupled Mn (III)-Mn (IV) dimer is ferromagnetically exchange coupled to another site with i= 1. This second sitecould possibly be low-spin Mn (III), low-spin Fe (IV), or even a second Mn dimer. We assign the S2 state EPR signal to a thermally populated s= y2 state. Therefore, if our interpretation of the data is correct, an EPR signal from the s= 3/2 ground state should be observable at low temperature. This signal is expected to be anisotropic and, therefore, difficult to detect. Current efforts in this laboratory are directed at using the ferromagnetic exchange coupling scheme to accurately simulate the three S2 state EPR spectra and at-tempting to observe EPR signals from the s= 3/2 ground state of the S2 state of the OEC.Acknowledgment.
