Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) has emerged as a powerful method for elucidating the structure-function relationship in photosynthetic systems. In this Perspective, we discuss features of two-dimensional spectroscopy that make it highly suited to address questions about the underlying electronic structure that guides energy- and charge-transfer processes in light-harvesting materials. We briefly describe a pulse-shaping-based implementation of two-dimensional spectroscopy that is making the method widely accessible to problems spanning frequency regimes from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared. We illustrate the utility of 2DES in the context of our recent studies of the primary energy-transfer and charge separation events in the photosystem II reaction center, discussing remaining challenges and speculating about exciting future directions for the field of multidimensional spectroscopy.
