Air oxidation of a manganese(III) thioether chelate affords the first manganese(III) dihydrosalen complex with a pendant sulfoxide ligand
Abstract
The aerobic oxidation of the manganese(III) dihydrosalen-thioether chelate rac-1 affords the novel manganese(III) sulfoxide complex rac-2; X-ray structural analysis of the latter reveals that only one of the two possible diastereomeric oxidation products is present in the crystal.
