Mn IV -Oxo complex of a bis(benzimidazolyl)-containing N5 ligand reveals different reactivity trends for Mn IV -oxo than Fe IV -oxo species
(2019) In Dalton Transactions 48(15). p.5007-5021- Abstract
Using the pentadentate ligand (N-bis(1-methyl-2-benzimidazolyl)methyl-N-(bis-2-pyridylmethyl)amine, 2pyN2B), presenting two pyridyl and two (N-methyl)benzimidazolyl donor moieties in addition to a central tertiary amine, new Mn

center than the pyridyl and quinolinyl ligands found in analogous Mn

were assessed through reactions with hydrocarbons and thioanisole, respectively. When compared with related Mn

showed muted reactivity in hydrogen-atom transfer reactions with hydrocarbons. This result stands in contrast to observations for the analogous Fe

was found to be one of the more reactive members of its class.
