Manganese(IV)–amide binding: structural characterisation and redox stability of a hexadentate complex
Abstract
The hexadentate diamide ligand H4L(1), formed from ethyl salicylate and triethylenetetramine, affords MnL·4H2O which has a trans–cis–cis MnIVN2(amide)N2(amine)O2(phenol) co-ordination sphere and a low MnIV/MnIII reduction potential.
