| Abstract: |
Manganese catalysts that activate hydrogen peroxide carry out several different hydrocarbon oxidation reactions with high stereoselectivity. The commonly proposed mechanism for these reactions involves a key manganese(III)-hydroperoxo intermediate, which decays via O–O bond heterolysis to generate a Mn(V)–oxo species that institutes substrate oxidation. Due to the scarcity of characterized MnIII–hydroperoxo complexes, MnIII–alkylperoxo complexes are employed to understand factors that affect the mechanism of the O–O cleavage. Herein, we report a series of novel complexes, including two room-temperature-stable MnIII–alkylperoxo species, supported by a new amide-containing pentadentate ligand (6Medpaq5NO2). We use a combination of spectroscopic methods and density functional theory computations to probe the effects of the electronic changes in the ligand sphere trans to the hydroxo and alkylperoxo units to thermal stability and reactivity. The structural characterizations for both MnII(OTf)(6Medpaq5NO2) and [MnIII(OH)(6Medpaq5NO2)](OTf) were obtained via single-crystal X-ray crystallography. A perturbation to the ligand sphere allowed for a marked increase in reactivity towards an organic substrate, a modest change in the distribution of the O–O cleavage products from homolytic and heterolytic pathways, and little change in thermal stability.
