Using low-temperature trapping experiments with 1 ,l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazine moni­ tored by UV/Vis spectroscopy, it is shown that the rate-determining step in the epoxidation of alkenes by hypochlorite, catalysed by manganese(III) porphyrins, involves the formation of the active oxo-manganese species [(P)MnO]+.

The special application of iron-manganese oxide nanocatalysts has been investigated in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. In this research, iron-manganese oxide nanocomposites were synthesized by co-precipitation, sol-gel and mechanochemical methods using iron (III) nitrate, iron (II) sulfate and manganese (II) nitrate as starting materials. These nanocomposites were prepared on the variou...

Hollandite with Cr(III) in both tunnel and framework sites has been prepared hydrothermally from layered manganese oxide precursors.

The latest investigations on producing more efficient catalytic aqueous polyurethane systems are in the domain of metal complexes with mixed ligands. In our previous research works, the high selectivity for the isocyanate-hydroxyl reaction in aqueous polyurethane systems has been shown by the manganese(III) mixed-ligand complexes. The two new complexes have been prepared with two acetylacetonat...

Electronic coupling between the porphyrin units of a laterally-bridged dimanganese(III) bis-porphyrin 2 is explored using electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry and resonance-Raman spectroscopy. It is found that strong electronic interactions between the manganese(III) ion and the porphyrin macrocycle enhance the perturbations experienced by these bis-porphyrin systems when compared to relat...

The removal of manganese and humic acid (HA) by two nanofiltration membranes, TFC-SR2 and TFC-SR3, was investigated in order to highlight the influence of speciation on manganese and HA retention. Manganese speciation and complexation with HA were modelled to understand how speciation could affect NF removal mechanisms. The behaviour of the two membranes was drastically different for manganese ...

A series of carboxyethylphosphonate hybrid materials has been prepared: Mn(II)(O3PCH2CH2COOH) *H2O (1), Mn(III)(OH)(O3PCH2CH2COOH)*H2O (2), Al3(III)(OH)3(O3PCH2CH2CO2)2 *3H2O (3) and Cr2(III)(OH)3(O3PCH2CH2CO2) *3H2O (4). Compounds 1 and 2 were synthesized from Mn(III)(CH3COO)3 *2H2O under hydrothermal, or refluxing treatments, respectively. The crystal structures of the manganese-bearing solid...

Mixed-valent manganese phosphonate clusters [Mn(II)(8)Mn(III)(2)O(2)(O(3)PC(10)H(7))(4)(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(10)(py)(4)(H(2)O)(2)] (1) and [Mn(II)(4)Mn(III)(9)O(4)(OH)(2)(O(3)PC(10)H(7))(10)(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(5)(py)(8)(H(2)O)(6)] (2) are reported. Compound 1 is the first example of manganese phosphonate clusters prepared through a microwave-assisted technique. While compound 2 is obtained under ambient ...
