The synthesis and structure of a novel donor-acceptor complex comprised of a photosensitising ruthenium polypyridyl moiety covalently linked to a beta -cyclodextrin unit bearing a hydroxy-bridged manganese(iii) dimer 1 is described; the dimanganese complex undergoes a photoinduced electron transfer and may represent an attractive model system for elucidating aspects of photosystem II.
