Synthesis of di-µ-oxo manganese(III/IV) complexes as functional models of L. Plantarum pseudo-catalase: influence of electronic and steric factors; catalysis and kinetics of hydrogen peroxide disproportionation
Abstract
Di-µ-oxo dimanganese(III/IV) complexes are efficient catalysts for H2O2 disproportionation in neutral aqueous medium; the activity can be correlated to the electron density on the metal and the accessibility of the catalytic site.
