H. Sakiyama et al., A FUNCTIONAL-MODEL OF MANGANESE CATALASE - MASS-SPECTROMETRIC AND VISIBLE SPECTRAL EVIDENCE FOR (MN(IV)(=O))2 AND MN(II)MN(IV)(=O) INTERMEDIATES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (10), 1993, pp. 882-884
A dinuclear manganese(II) complex [Mn2(L)(PhCO2)2(NCS)] [L = 2,6-bis{
hylamino)ethyl]iminomethyl}-4-methylphenolate(1-)] decomposes H2O2 cat
alytically in dimethylformamide solution; two oxomanganese(IV) species
{Mn(IV)(=O)}2 and Mn(II)[Mn(IV)(=O) are detected for the first time a
s intermediates in the H2O2 disproportionation reaction based on mass
spectrometric and visible spectral studies.
