Dioxygen activation by a novel manganese(II) thiolate complex with hydrotris(3,5-diisopropylpyrazol-1-yl)borate ligand
Abstract
Reaction of a MnII thiolate complex bearing hydrotris(3,5-diisopropylpyrazol-1-yl)borate with O2 resulted in O–O bond activation to give a dinuclear MnIII bis(µ-oxo) complex and a ligand-oxygenated dinuclear MnIII µ-oxo complex, or the dinuclear MnIII,IV µ-acetato-bis(µ-oxo) complex in the presence of a MnII acetate complex.
