C. Pierre et al., First synthesis and crystal structure of a Mn3+ complex derived from the Ogawa porphyrin-like ligand, NEW J CHEM, 25(4), 2001, pp. 522-524
The synthesis and X-ray structure analysis of a new manganese(III) complex
[MnL1(H2O)(2)]OTf displaying structural analogies with metalloporphyrins ar
e described. This compound is characterized by very short Mn-N bond distanc
es (1.93 Angstrom) and a nearly planar structure. Its ability to catalyze c
yclohexene epoxidation in the presence of MCPBA has also been evaluated.
