Figure 1. (A) Bioinspired design strategy from the natural Mn4CaO5 cluster in PS II to the synthetic [Cu4O4] cluster catalyst. (B) Synthesis routes of the organic ligands of LGly and LGlu, and the corresponding copper complexes of Cu4(LGly)4 and Cu4(LGlu)4, with HRMS spectra confirming the formation of the tetranuclear complexes. (C) Normalized Cu K-edge XANES spectra and the corresponding Fourier-transform EXAFS profiles (D) of Cu4(LGly)4 and Cu4(LGlu)4 with fitting curves, benchmarked against Cu, Cu2O, and CuO standards.
