Abstract An electron dynamics mechanism of charge separation in the initial stage of excited‐state reactions of the class of XMnOH 2 ⋅⋅⋅A ${ \to }$ XMnOH⋅⋅⋅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.
