Oxidation of Toluene Derivatives with Manganese (III) Acetate

Microbial manganese(III) reduction fuelled by anaerobic acetate oxidation.

Soluble manganese in the intermediate +III oxidation state (Mn3+ ) is a newly identified oxidant in anoxic environments, whereas acetate is a naturally abundant substrate that fuels microbial activity. Microbial populations coupling anaerobic acetate oxidation to Mn3+ reduction, however, have yet to be identified. We isolated a Shewanella strain capable of oxidizing acetate anaerobically with M...

Microbial Manganese ( Iii ) Reduction Fueled by Anaerobic Acetate Oxidation

Background: Microbial manganese (Mn) cycling in marine and freshwater environments is generally assumed to consist of Mn oxidation in oxic water columns and Mn(IV) oxide reduction in anoxic sediments [1] as the only two bioavailable Mn redox species. This dogma was recently overturned with the discovery that soluble Mn dominates the soluble Mn pool at μM concentrations in suboxic environments [...

Acetate oxidation by dissimilatory Fe(III) reducers.

Peroxynitric Acid: A Convenient Oxygen Source for Oxidation of Organic Compounds Catalyzed by Polyimide-Supported Manganese (III) Tetrakis(4-methoxylphenyl)porphyrin Acetate

In this work, a polyimide (PI) containing triazole units was synthesized using 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole and pyromellitic dianhydride in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. This polymer was used as the support of manganese (III) tetrakis(4-methoxylphenyl)porphyrin acetate to attain a heterogeneous catalyst; namely Mn(T4-OMePP)OAc@PI. The synthesized PI and Mn(T4-OMePP)OAc@PI were characterized by di...

Photoinduced oxidation of a water-soluble manganese(III) porphyrin.

The photoinduced oxidation of tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrinmanganese(III) has been achieved in homogeneous solution. The manganese porphyrin was used as an electron donor in a three-component system with tris-(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) as the photosensitizer and chloropentaamminecobalt(III) as the electron acceptor. The photooxidized manganese porphyrin is unstable in aqueous solution,...
