Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The engine of aerobic life on earth is a tetramanganese oxo cluster at the very heart of Photosystem II (PS II) in green plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria. In their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 11182 ff., </ext-link> F. Scandola, U. Kortz, M. Bonchio et al. have identified a unique hybrid set of ligands to provide the first functional analogue of the PS II oxygen‐evolving center that works in an artificial environment (Cover picture: Rami Al‐Oweini).<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh1fbtcf7c" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
