| Abstract: | An electron dynamics mechanism of charge separation in the initial stage of excited‐state reactions of the class of X?Mn?OH2???A${ to }$ X?Mn?OH???HA (X=OH or OCaH; A=N‐methylformamidine, guanidine, imidazole, or ammonia cluster) is reported. The dynamic effect of calcium doping is also revealed. This study provides a novel factor to be considered in designing efficient systems for photoinduced water splitting. |
