I assume you are talking about the S states in the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) on the donor side of Photosystem II. The OEC is responsible for restoring the electron lost by P680 Chlorophyll on activation by the incoming light quanta. The OEC cycles on a 4 step process, called the S states. On the 4th electron transfer, molecular oxygen is released, and the S state cycles back to S0
