Abstract:
A mononuclear manganese(iii)-peroxo complex [MnIII(N3Py2)(O2)]+ (1a) bearing a non-heme N,N'-dimethyl-N-(2-(methyl(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)ethyl)-N'-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (N3Py2) ligand was synthesized by the reaction of [Mn(N3Py2)(H2O)](ClO4)2 (1) with hydrogen peroxide and triethylamine in CH3CN at 25 °C. The reactivity of 1a in aldehyde deformylation using 2-phenyl propionaldehyde (2-PPA) was studied and the reaction kinetics was monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy. A kinetic isotope effect (KIE) = 1.7 was obtained in the reaction of 1a with 2-PPA and α-[D1]-PPA, suggesting nucleophilic character of 1a. The activation parameters ΔH‡ and ΔS‡ were determined using the Eyring plot while Ea was obtained from the Arrhenius equation by performing the reaction between 288 and 303 K. Hammett constants (σp) of para-substituted benzaldehydes p-X-Ph-CHO (X = Cl, F, H, and Me) were linear with a slope (ρ) = 3.0. Computational study suggested that the side-on structure of 1a is more favored over the end-on structure and facilitates the reactivity of 1a.

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
