Monomeric and Trimeric Manganese(III) Complexes of 2-Hydroxy-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin. Synthesis and Characterization

The hydrolysis of the monomeric five-coordinate (2-BzO-TPP)Mn(III)Cl complex has been investigated.(1) Evidence for the formation of the cyclic trimeric complex [(2-O-TPP)Mn(III)](3) is presented. The (1)H NMR spectroscopic evidence indicates that the trimeric manganese(III) complex has a head-to-tail cyclic trimeric structure with the pyrrolic alkoxide groups forming bridges from one macrocycle to the manganese(III) ion in the adjacent macrocycle PMn-O-PMn-O-PMn-O. The three manganese(III) porphyrin subunits are not equivalent. The characteristic upfield shift of the 3-H pyrrole resonance (-111.5 ppm at 291 K) was determined and considered as the diagnostic feature for the high-spin d(4) manganese(III)-pyrrole alkoxide coordination. The strong upfield shift of the 3-H resonance has been accounted for by the donation of the electron density from the filled orbital of the 2-O atom on the half-occupied d(z)()()2 orbital of the external manganese(III) ion. The other pyrrole resonances produce the complex multiplet at the typical -5 to -40 ppm region. The (1)H NMR spectra of the series of monomeric 2-substituted manganese(III) 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin complexes (2-X-TPP)Mn(III)Cl have been obtained and analyzed. The pattern of the assigned seven pyrrole resonances reflects the asymmetry imposed by 2-substitution and has been used as a (1)H NMR spectroscopic probe to map the spin density distribution. The electronic effect is strongly localized at the beta-substituted pyrrole. The upfield shift of the 3-H resonance increases in the order (2-NO(2)-TPP)Mn(III)Cl < (2-BzO-TPP)Mn(III)Cl < (2-OCH(3)-TPP)Mn(III)Cl < (2-OH-TPP)Mn(III)Cl < (2-NH(2)-TPP)Mn(III)Cl < [(2-O-TPP)Mn(III)(OH)](-) following the increasing electron-donating properties of the beta-substituent.     

Anion-controlled assembly of four manganese ions: structural, magnetic, and electrochemical properties of tetramanganese complexes stabilized by xanthene-bridged Schiff base ligands

The reaction of manganese(II) acetate with a xanthene-bridged bis[3-(salicylideneamino)-1-propanol] ligand, H(4)L, afforded the tetramanganese(II,II,III,III) complex [Mn(4)(L)(2)(μ-OAc)(2)], which has an incomplete double-cubane structure. The corresponding reaction using manganese(II) chloride in the presence of a base gave the tetramanganese(III,III,III,III) complex [Mn(4)(L)(2)Cl(3)(μ(4)-Cl)(OH(2))], in which four Mn ions are bridged by a Cl(-) ion. A pair of L ligands has a propensity to incorporate four Mn ions, the arrangement and oxidation states of which are dependent on the coexistent anions.     

Slow magnetic relaxation in a mixed-valence Mn(II/III) Complex: [MnII2(bispicen)2(mu 3-Cl)2Mn(III)(Cl4Cat)2Mn(III)(Cl4Cat)2(H2O)2] infinity

A layered mixed-valence manganese complex, [Mn(II)(2)(bispicen)(2)(mu(3)-Cl)(2)Mn(III)(Cl(4)Cat)(2)Mn(III)(Cl(4)Cat)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](infinity), is synthesized and characterized structurally. It displays a slow magnetic relaxation and hysteresis effect.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of manganese(III,IV) and ruthenium(III) complexes derived from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehydebenzoylhydrazone

Reaction of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehydebenzoylhydrazone(napbhH₂) with manganese(II) acetate tetrahydrate and manganese(III) acetate dihydrate in methanol followed by addition of methanolic KOH in molar ratio (2 : 1 : 10) results in [Mn(IV)(napbh)₂] and [Mn(III)(napbh)(OH)(H₂O)], respectively. Activated ruthenium(III) chloride reacts with napbhH₂ in methanolic medium yielding [Ru(III)(napbhH)Cl(H₂O)]Cl. Replacement of aquo ligand by heterocyclic nitrogen donor in this complex has been observed when the reaction is carried out in presence of pyridine(py), 3-picoline(3-pic) or 4-picoline(4-pic). The molar conductance values in DMF (N,N-dimethyl formamide) of these complexes suggest non-electrolytic and 1 : 1 electrolytic nature for manganese and ruthenium complexes, respectively. Magnetic moment values of manganese complexes suggest Mn(III) and Mn(IV), however, ruthenium complexes are paramagnetic with one unpaired electron suggesting Ru(III). Electronic spectral studies suggest six coordinate metal ions in these complexes. IR spectra reveal that napbhH₂ coordinates in enol-form and keto-form to manganese and ruthenium metal ions in its complexes, respectively. ESR studies of the complexes are also reported.

First Synthesis of a Binuclear [Mn(II)(bipy)-Fe(III)(porphyrin)] Complex: Spectroscopic Characterization and First Evidence of Reversible Formation of Manganese(III) as Manganese Peroxidase

A [(P)Fe(III)-Mn(II)] bimetallic complex, mimicking the active site of manganese peroxidase, has been synthesized. A modified highly fluorinated porphyrin, 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)-20-(o-aminophenyl)porphyrin, has been used to introduce, through a short spacer linked to the amino function, a manganese auxiliary ligand, 6-aminomethyl-2,2'-bipyridine. Two successive metalations by FeCl(2) and MnCl(2) afforded the [(P)Fe(III)-Mn(II)] bimetallic complex that has been characterized by elemental analysis and FAB(+) mass spectrometry. X-band EPR spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements were in agreement with two high spin Fe(III) and Mn(II) centers without magnetic exchange interaction. Moreover, there is no higher intermolecular association through &mgr;-chloro bridging as observed by EPR with a simpler chloromanganese complex, Mn(bipy)(2)Cl(2), at high concentration. Addition of pentafluoroiodosobenzene in methanol at 0 degrees C led to the progressive and complete disappearance of the EPR Mn(II) signals, that were recovered after addition of a phenol. This result is consistent with Mn(III) formation. This production of Mn(III) requires the presence of the iron porphyrin and is proposed to occur through the intermediate formation of a Fe(IV) dimethoxide species which can be related to the oxidation of Mn(II) catalyzed by manganese peroxidase compound II.     

Aerobic catechol oxidation catalyzed by a bis(mu-oxo)dimanganese(III,III) complex via a manganese(II)-semiquinonate complex

A 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-semiquinonato (DTBSQ) adduct of Mn(II) was prepared by a reaction between Mn(II)(TPA)Cl(2) (TPA = tris(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine) and DTBSQ anion and was isolated as a tetraphenylborate salt. The X-ray crystal structure revealed that the complex is formulated as a manganese(II)-semiquinonate complex [Mn(II)(TPA)(DTBSQ)](+) (1). The electronic spectra in solution also indicated the semiquinonate coordination to Mn. The exposure of 1 in acetonitrile to dioxygen afforded 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquione and a bis(mu-oxo)dimanganese(III,III) complex [Mn(III)(2)(mu-oxo)(2)(TPA)(2)](2+) (2). The reaction of 2 with 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (DTBCH(2)) quantitatively afforded two equivalents of 1 under anaerobic conditions. The highly efficient catalytic oxidation of DTBCH(2) with dioxygen was achieved by combining the above two reactions, that is, by constructing a catalytic cycle involving both manganese complexes 1 and 2. It was revealed that dioxygen is reduced to water but not to hydrogen peroxide in the catalytic cycle.     

Preparation of highly efficient manganese catalase mimics

The series of compounds [Mn(bpia)(mu-OAc)](2)(ClO(4))(2) (1), [Mn(2)(bpia)(2)(muO)(mu-OAc)](ClO(4))(3).CH(3)CN (2), [Mn(bpia)(mu-O)](2)(ClO(4))(2)(PF(6)).2CH(3)CN (3), [Mn(bpia)(Cl)(2)](ClO)(4) (4), and [(Mn(bpia)(Cl))(2)(mu-O)](ClO(4))(2).2CH(3)CN (5) (bpia = bis(picolyl)(N-methylimidazol-2-yl)amine) represents a structural, spectroscopic, and functional model system for manganese catalases. Compounds 3 and 5 have been synthesized from 2 via bulk electrolysis and ligand exchange, respectively. All complexes have been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography and by UV-vis and EPR spectroscopies. The different bridging ligands including the rare mono-mu-oxo and mono-mu-oxo-mono-mu-carboxylato motifs lead to a variation of the Mn-Mn separation across the four binuclear compounds of 1.50 A (Mn(2)(II,II) = 4.128 A, Mn(2)(III,III) = 3.5326 and 3.2533 A, Mn(2)(III,IV) = 2.624 A). Complexes 1, 2, and 3 are mimics for the Mn(2)(II,II), the Mn(2)(III,III), and the Mn(2)(III,IV) oxidation states of the native enzyme. UV-vis spectra of these compounds show similarities to those of the corresponding oxidation states of manganese catalase from Thermus thermophilus and Lactobacillus plantarum. Compound 2 exhibits a rare example of a Jahn-Teller compression. While complexes 1 and 3 are efficient catalysts for the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide and contain an N(4)O(2) donor set, 4 and 5 show no catalase activity. These complexes have an N(4)Cl(2) and N(4)OCl donor set, respectively, and serve as mimics for halide inhibited manganese catalases. Cyclovoltammetric data show that the substitution of oxygen donor atoms with chloride causes a shift of redox potentials to more positive values. To our knowledge, complex 1 is the most efficient binuclear functional manganese catalase mimic exhibiting saturation kinetics to date.     

Oxidation of caffeine with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by metalloporphyrins

The biomimetic oxidation of caffeine with hydrogen peroxide using metalloporphyrins as catalysts, which are known to be good biomimetic models of cytochrome P450 enzymes, is investigated. The two manganese porphyrins tested, chloro[5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrinato]manganese(III), [Mn(TDCPP)Cl], and chloro [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinato]manganese(III), [Mn(TPFPP)Cl], afford high conversions of caffeine for all substrate/catalyst molar ratios. Selectivity was found to be dependent on the catalyst employed, and a new spiro racemic compound is described and fully characterized in the solid state from X-ray diffraction studies.     

Structural investigation of high-valent manganese-salen complexes by UV/Vis,Raman, XANES,and EXAFS spectroscopy

XANES and EXAFS spectroscopic studies at the Mn-K- and Br-K-edge of reaction products of (S,S)-(+)-N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminomanganese(III) chloride ([(salen)Mn(III)Cl], 1) and (S,S)-(+)-N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminomanganese(III) bromide ([(salen)Mn(III)Br], 2) with 4-phenylpyridine N-oxide (4-PPNO) and 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) are reported. The reaction of the Mn(III) complexes with two equivalents of 4-PPNO leads to a hexacoordinated compound, in which the manganese atom is octahedrally coordinated by four oxygen/nitrogen atoms of the salen ligand at an average distance of approximately 1.90 A and two additional, axially bonded oxygen atoms of the 4-PPNO at 2.25 A. The oxidation state of this complex was determined as approximately +IV by a comparative study of Mn(III) and Mn(V) reference compounds. The green intermediate obtained in reactions of MCPBA and solutions of 1 or 2 in acetonitrile was investigated with XANES, EXAFS, UV/Vis, and Raman spectroscopy, and an increase of the coordination number of the manganese atoms from 4 to 5 and the complete abstraction of the halide was observed. A formal oxidation state of IV was deduced from the relative position of the pre-edge 1s-->3d feature of the X-ray absorption spectrum of the complex. The broad UV/Vis band of this complex in acetonitrile with lambda(max)=648 nm was consistent with a radical cation structure, in which a MCPBA molecule was bound to the Mn(IV) central atom. An oxomanganese(V) or a dimeric manganese(IV) species was not detected.     

Solvent, anion, and structural effects on the redox potentials and UV-visible spectral properties of mononuclear manganese corroles

A series of manganese(III) corroles were investigated as to their electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry in nonaqueous solvents. Up to three oxidations and one reduction were obtained for each complex depending on the solvents. The main compound discussed in this paper is the meso-substituted manganese corrole, (Mes 2PhCor)Mn, and the main points are how changes in axially coordinated anion and solvent will affect the redox potentials and UV-vis spectra of each electrogenerated species in oxidation states of Mn(III), Mn(IV), or Mn(II). The anions OAc (-), Cl (-), CN (-), and SCN (-) were found to form five-coordinate complexes with the neutral Mn(III) corrole while two OH (-) or F (-) anions were shown to bind axially in a stepwise addition to give the five- and six-coordinate complexes in nonaqueous media. In each case, complexation with one or two anionic axial ligands led to an easier oxidation and a harder reduction as compared to the uncomplexed four-coordinate species.     

Synthesis, crystal structures and catalytic abilities of new macrocyclic bis-pyridineamido Mn and Fe complexes

A new macrocyclic ligand H₂L (H₂L = 1,2-[bis(6′-pyridine-2′-carboxamido)-ethane]benzene) has been designed and synthesized by condensation of pyridine-carboxylic acid and diamine. Its Mn(III) and Fe(III) complexes, [Mn(L)Cl (DMF)] and [Fe(L)Cl], were prepared and respectively characterized by IR, UV-Vis, ESI-Mass, elemental analysis and X-ray single crystal diffraction. The catalytic abilities of them were examined, and up to 95% yield was achieved in epoxidation of styrene. The preliminary investigation of catalytic mechanism by manganese complex was carried out, suggesting the involvement of Mn(V) oxo species during catalysis.     

Hydroxide ion versus chloride and methoxide as an exogenous ligand reveals the influence of hydrogen bonding with second-sphere coordination water molecules in the electron transfer kinetics of Mn complexes

We recently reported on the synthesis of a new pentadentate N(4)O ligand, tBuL(-), together with the X-ray diffraction structure of the corresponding mononuclear manganese(III)-hydroxo complex namely [(tBuL)Mn(III)OH](ClO(4)), (1 (ClO(4))). [El Ghachtouli et al. Energy Environ. Sci. 2011, 4, 2041.] In the present work, we evidence through electrochemical analysis that complex 1(+), in the presence of water, shows a peculiar behavior toward electron-transfer kinetics. The synthesis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and EPR spectroscopic characterization of two other mononuclear manganese(III)-chlorido and methoxo complexes-namely, [(tBuL)Mn(III)Cl](PF(6)), (2(PF(6))) and [(tBuL)Mn(III)OMe](ClO(4)), (3(ClO(4)))-are also reported. 2(PF(6)) and 3(ClO(4)) compounds will serve as reference complexes for the electron-transfer kinetics investigation. The peculiar behavior of 1(ClO(4)) is attributed to the specificity of hydroxide anion as ligand presumably allowing intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions and thus affecting electron-transfer properties.     

Synthesis, characterization, and solution properties of a novel cross-bridged cyclam manganese(IV) complex having two terminal hydroxo ligands

A novel monomeric tetravalent manganese complex with the cross-bridged cyclam ligand 4,11-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazabicyclo[6.6.2]hexadecane (Me2EBC), [Mn(IV)(Me2EBC)(OH)2](PF6)2, was synthesized by oxidation of Mn(II)(Me2EBC)Cl2 with H2O2 in the presence of NH4PF6)in aqueous solution. The X-ray crystal structure determination of this manganese(IV) compound revealed that it contains two rare terminal hydroxo ligands. EPR studies in dry acetonitrile at 77 K show two broad resonances at g = 1.96 and 3.41, indicating that the manganese(IV) exists as a high-spin d3 species. Resonance Raman (rR) spectra of this manganese(IV) species reveal that the dihydroxy moiety, Mn(IV)(OH)2, is also the dominant species in aqueous solution (pH < 7). pH titration provides two pK(a) values, 6.86(4) and 10.0(1), associated with stepwise removal of the last two oxygen-bound protons from [Mn(IV)(Me2EBC)(OH)2](2+). The cyclic voltammetry of this manganese(IV) complex in dry acetonitrile at 298 K demonstrates two reversible redox processes at +0.756 and -0.696 V (versus SHE) for the Mn4+/Mn3+ and Mn3+/Mn2+ couples, respectively. This manganese(IV) complex is relatively stable in weak acidic aqueous solution but easily degrades in basic solution to manganese(III) derivatives with an 88 +/- 1% yield.     

The intercalation of metalloporphyrin complex anions into layered double hydroxides

Investigations to elucidate the structures of the cobalt(III) and manganese(III) complexes of tetra(p-sulfonatophenyl)porphinate anions (M(III)TSPP; M = Co and Mn), intercalated in Mg-Fe/Cl and Mg-Al/Cl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been carried out. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis, IR and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of Co(III)TSPP and Mn(III)TSPP intercalated into the interlayer spaces of LDH resulted in their perpendicular alignment against the host layers in the plane of the hybrid.     

New layered manganese oxide halides

The first layered manganese(III) oxide chlorides, Sr2MnO3Cl and Sr4Mn3O8-yCl2, have been synthesised; Sr2MnO3Cl adopts a K2NiF4 type structure with sheets of MnO5 square based pyramids linked through oxygen and separated by SrCl layers; it is the end member of a new family of Ruddlesden-Popper type manganese oxide halides which includes the three-layer member Sr4Mn3O8-yCl2 also reported herein.     

Crystallographic identification of a series of manganese porphyrin complexes with nitrogenous bases

Studying the axial ligation behavior of metalloporphyrins with nitrogenous bases helps to better understand not only the biological function of heme‐based protein systems, but also the catalytic properties of porphyrin‐based reaction sites in other biomimetic synthetic support environments. Unlike iron porphyrin complexes, little is known about the axial ligation behavior of Mn porphyrins, particularly in the solid state with Mn in the +3 oxidation state. Here, we present the syntheses and crystal and molecular structures of three new high‐spin manganese(III) porphyrin complexes with the different amine‐based axial ligands imidazole (im), piperidine (pip), and 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), namely bis(imidazole)(5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphyrinato)manganese(III) chloride chloroform disolvate, [Mn(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)(C₃H₄N₂)₂]Cl·2CHCl₃ or [Mn(TPP)(im)₂]Cl·2CHCl₃ (TPP = 5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphyrin), (I), bis(piperidine)(5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphyrinato)manganese(III) chloride, [Mn(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)(C₅H₁₁N)₂]Cl or [Mn(TPP)(pip)₂]Cl, (II), and chlorido(1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)(5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphyrin)manganese(III)–1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane–toluene–water (4/4/4/1), [Mn(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)Cl(C₆H₁₂N₂)]·C₆H₁₂N₂·C₇H₈·0.25H₂O or [Mn(TPP)Cl(DABCO)]·(DABCO)·(toluene)·0.25H₂O, (IV). A fourth complex, chlorido(pyridine)(5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphryinato)manganese(III) pyridine disolvate, [Mn(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)Cl(C₅H₅N)]·2C₅H₅N or [Mn(TPP)Cl(py)]·2(py), (III), acquired using different crystallization methods from published data, is also reported and compared to the previous structures.

Ab initio molecular dynamics study of manganese porphine hydration and interaction with nitric oxide

The authors use ab initio molecular dynamics and the density functional theory+U (DFT+U) method to compute the hydration environment of the manganese ion in manganese (II) and manganese (III) porphines (MnP) dispersed in liquid water. These are intended as simple models for more complex water soluble porphyrins, which have important physiological and electrochemical applications. The manganese ion in Mn(II)P exhibits significant out-of-porphine plane displacement and binds strongly to a single H2O molecule in liquid water. The Mn in Mn(III)P is on average coplanar with the porphine plane and forms a stable complex with two H2O molecules. The residence times of these water molecules exceed 15 ps. The DFT+U method correctly predicts that water displaces NO from Mn(III)P-NO, but yields an ambiguous spin state for the MnP(II)-NO complex.     

Syntheses, crystal structures, and spectroscopic and magnetic properties of [Mn2III(H2L1)(Cl4Cat)4.2H2O] and [Mn2III(H2L2)(Cl4Cat)4.2CH3CN.2H2O]infinity: temperature-dependent valence tautomerism in solution

The synthesis, X-ray data, and electronic structures of two manganese(III) 1D polymers ligated by tetrachlorocatechol, [Mn(2)(III)(H(2)L(1))(Cl(4)Cat)(4).2H(2)O](infinity) (1) and [Mn(2)(III)(H(2)L(2))(Cl(4)Cat)(4).2CH(3)CN.2H(2)O](infinity) (2), are reported. The electronic structures of the complexes have been determined by UV-vis-near-IR, IR, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Both 1 and 2 are air stable in the solid state and in solution, unlike most of the previously reported o-quinone-chelated transition-metal complexes. Electronic spectroscopy exhibits a strong near-IR band near 1900 nm for both, suggesting the presence of a mixed-valence semiquinone-catecholate oxidation state of the catechol ligands, Mn(2)(III)(Cl(4)Cat)(2)(Cl(4)SQ)(2), together with the pure catecholate forms. The presence of this isomer was further supported by EPR and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The complexes undergo intramolecular electron transfer (valence tautomerism) upon an increase of the temperature involving the equilibrium Mn(2)(III)(Cl(4)Cat)(2)(Cl(4)SQ)(2) <==> Mn(2)(II)(Cl(4)SQ)(4). This phenomenon is reversible and is studied in solution using UV-vis-near-IR spectroscopy.
