Abstract
The binuclear Mn-IV-Mn-IV manganese complex 1 catalyzes the periodic a cid oxidation of sulfides to sulfones under mild conditions. The react ion was found to be highly selective giving almost quantitative yields of the sulfones even in the presence other easily oxidized groups. On ly amines were found to hinder the reaction.
