Ts. Kurtikyan et al., A spectral study of the interaction of dioxygen with sublimed layers of manganese(II) meso-tetraphenylporphyrinate, RUSS CHEM B, 49(9), 2000, pp. 1540-1543
The low-temperature interaction of sublimed layers of manganese(II) meso-te
traphenylporphyrinate (MnTPP) with O-2, which has previously been observed
only in solutions and in an inert gas matrix, was found by electron absorpt
ion and IR spectroscopy. The coordination of O-2 with sublimed MnTPP layers
is only partially reversible. Bands that can serve as IR-spectral markers
characteristic of the high-spin Mn-II ion in MnTPP and its axial complexes
were observed.
