Synthetic access has been achieved into high oxidation state Mn/Ca chemistry with the 4 : 1 Mn : Ca stoichiometry of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of plants and cyanobacteria; the anion of (Et(3)NH)(2)[Mn(III)(4)Ca(O(2)CPh)(4)(shi)(4)] has a square pyramidal metal topology and an S = 0 ground state.

the electrochemical behavior of a modified carbon paste electrode (mcpe) with n,n′ethylenbis(salicylideneiminato)copper(ii) complex ([cu(ii)-salen]) was investigated as a newsensor for cystein. the britton-robinson buffer with ph 5, 10% modifier in electrode, potentialscanning rate of 20 mvs-1 and puls height of 50 mv were used as the optimum condition for thedetermination of cysteine using car...

Manganese(III) has been stabilized in weakly acidic solution by pyrophosphate and the complex formed was elucidated spectrophotometrically. Stoichiometry of manganese(III) oxidation of ampicillin in pyrophosphate medium was established in the pH range 2.0–3.0 by iodometric and spectrophotometric methods. The oxidation follows frst order kinetics in [Mn(III)]. The effect of varying [Mn(III)], [A...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn(C13H15N4O)2]NO3·CH3OH, contains two independent complex cations, in each of which the Mn(III) ion is located on an inversion centre. The Mn(III) ion is coordinated by four N and two O atoms from two 1,3-bis-{[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methyl-idene]amino}-propan-2-olate ligands, resulting in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The average Mn-ligand bond lengths...

At physiological concentrations of HCO3- and CO2, Mn(II) catalyzes disproportionation of H2O2. This catalase-like activity is directly proportional to the concentrations of Mn(II) and H2O2, and it increases exponentially with increases in pH. The effect of increasing pH is almost completely attributable to the concomitant increase in HCO3- concentration. The rate is proportional to the third po...

We have prepared and characterized a few Mn (III) complexes by using a few bidentate and tridentate ligands. Spectra of the manganese (III) ion in a variety of molecular environments are reported. On the basis of solution spectra, some of these complexes seem to be typically distorted

[Chemical reaction: See text] We describe efforts to achieve the electroreductive cyclization (ERC) and the electrohydrocyclization (EHC) reactions using catalytic nickel(II) salen as a mediator. While nickel(II) salen proved effective, the analogous cobalt complex as well as nickel(II) cyclam were not. The transformations were achieved in yields ranging from 60 to 94% using either a mercury po...

1-Tetralone, a useful synthetic intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyes, can be prepared by liquid phase catalytic oxidation tetralin. Selective tetralin to 1-tetralone is still big challenge with low-temperature processes using environmentally friendly routes even after decades research. Herein, we demonstrate room-temperature over layered double hydroxide-ho...
