We present two-dimensional electronic spectra of isolated D1-D2-cyt b559 reaction centers (PSII RC) at 77K. We decompose the data into two-dimensional decay-associated spectra (2D DAS) to reveal the excitation- and detection-dependent spectral signatures associated with energy and charge transfer within the PSII Rc. We interpret the 2D DAS in the context of an excition model and proposed pathways for charge separation. The 2D DAS reveal a high degree of variation in the kinetics as a function of excitation wavelengh. We observe rapid similar to 50-150 fs energy equilibration throughout the PSII RC and a heterogeneous distribution of time scales associated with charge transfer, ranging from similar to 1-3 ps. We observe 6-8 ps energy transfer from states absorbing near 670 nm, as well as similar to 40-60 ps processes consistent with secondary charge transfer from a radical pair intermediate or charge transfer from a trap state.
