Abstract:
Mononuclear manganese(III) peroxido complexes are candidates for the reaction intermediates in manganese containing proteins, such as manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) etc. In this study, manganese(III) peroxido complexes [Mn(O2)(L3)] and [Mn(O2)(L10)] ligated by anionic N3 type ligands with sterically hindered substituents, hydrotris(3-tertiary butyl-5-isopropyl-1-pyrazolyl)borate (L3-) and hydrotris(3-adamantyl-5-isopropyl-1-pyrazolyl)borate (L10-), respectively, were structurally characterized. These complexes are the first examples of structurally characterized five-coordinate manganese(III) peroxido complexes. Their characteristic ν(OO) and ν(MnO) stretchings were determined by using H218O2 for the first time. Theoretical calculations were performed to obtain further insight into their structural parameters. The decomposed products were obtained as [{MnIII(μ-O)(L3)}2MnIV] and [MnIII(OH){L10(O)}] from [Mn(O2)(L3)] and [Mn(O2)(L10)], respectively.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

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...
