Higher valent manganese chemistry. [Mn(biguanide)3]+, a structurally characterized MnIV complex with all-nitrogen coordination
Abstract
Oxidation of MnII acetate with Bun4NMnO4 in the presence of biguanide (big H) affords the red [MnIV(big)3]+ cation, a rare non-porphyrinic example of a MnIV complex coordinated solely through N atoms.
