New dinuclear methoxo-bridged manganese(III) complex [Mn2((MeO-bph)en)2Cl2(m-CH3O)2] (1) was synthesized by template reaction of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 1,2-ethanediamine and MnCl2×6H2O with molar ration (1:1:1) in methanol as solvent. The title compound 1 was characterized by...

The essential involvement of manganese in photosynthetic water oxidation was implicit in the observation by Pirson in 1937 that plants and algae deprived of Mn in their growth medium lost the ability to evolve O2. Addition of this essential element to the growth medium resulted in the restoration of water oxidation within 30 min. There is increased interest in the study of Mn in biological chem...

The water-oxidizing manganese complex bound to the proteins of photosystem II (PSII) was studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy on PSII membrane particles. An extended range for collection of extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) data was used (up to 16.6A(-1)). The EXAFS suggests the presence of two Mn-Mn distances close to 2.7A (per Mn4Ca complex); the existence of a third Mn-Mn ...

The use of microwave heating has improved the reaction rate, enhanced the yield of an inorganic cluster complex, and allowed for the high-temperature/high-pressure synthesis of a Mn(III) single-molecule magnet.

The photoelectrochemical properties and stability of dye sensitized solar cells containing Mn(β-diketonato)3 complexes, [Mn(III)(acac)3] () (acac = acetylacetonate), [Mn(III)(CF2)3] () (CF2 = 4,4-difluoro-1-phenylbutanate-1,3-dione), [Mn(III)(DBM)3] () (DBM = dibenzoylmethanate), [Mn(II)(CF2)3]TBA (TBA = tetrabutylammonium) () and [Mn(II)(DBM)3]TBA (), have been evaluated. At room temperature, ...

The syntheses, structures and magnetic properties are reported for three new manganese complexes containing the Schiff-base ((2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methylene)isonicotinohydrazine (H(2)hmi) ligand. Complex [Mn(II)(H(2)hmi)(2)(MeOH)(2)Cl(2)] (1) was obtained from the reaction of H(2)hmi with MnCl(2) in a MeOH-MeCN mixture. Addition of triethylamine to the previous reaction mixture followed by...

Siyanür klorür, literatürde verilen metotlardan faydalanılarak asetonlu ortamda farklı klor uçlarından 5-hidroksiizoftalik asit kullanılarak 0 oC bir yönlü (monopodal) 2,4-dikloro-6-(3,5-dikarboksifenoksi)-1,3,5-triazin (MNCHIPA) ve oda sıcaklığında iki (dipodal) 2-kloro-4,6-(2,5-dikarboksifenilfenoksi)-1,3,5-triazin (DPCHIPA) bileşik...

Treatment of [Mn(dpop)(H2O)2]Cl2 (dpop = 2,13-dimethyl-3,6,9,12,18-pentaazabicyclo-[12.3.1]octadeca-1(18),2,12,14,16-pentaene) with K4[Mo(CN)7]·2H2O under varied synthetic conditions afforded four different compounds: {[Mn(dpop)]4[(dpop)Mn(H2O)]2[Mo(III)(CN)7]3·27H2O}n (1), {[(dpop)Mn(H2O)][Mo(III)(CN)7][Mn(dpop)]3[Mo(IV)(CN)8]·29H2O}n (2), {[(dpop)Mn(H2O)]2[Mo(IV)(CN)8]2[Mn(dpop)]4[Mo(III)(CN)...

Manganese redox enzymes play crucial roles in a variety of biological systems. These include the photosynthetic oxidation of water m dioxygen, the disproport ionat ion of hydrogen peroxide, the disproport ionat ion of superoxide, and ribonucleotide reduction. The Mn sites in two of these systems, the photosynthetic oxygen evolving complex (OEC) and the Mn catalase from L. planrarum have been ch...

Effects of imidazoles and substituted pyridines and pure s-donors on the oxidation of cyclooctene with NaIO4 by 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato-manganese(III) acetate, Mn(TPP)OAc, and 5,10,15,20-Tetramesitylporphyrinato-manganese(III) acetate, Mn(TMP)OAc, catalysts in CH2Cl2-H2O solvent are studied. Coordination of the nitrogen donors to the Mn...
