Manganese(IV)–hydroxo complex, C–H bond activation, Oxygen non-rebound mechanism
Abstract
A high-valent manganese–hydroxo complex has been synthesized and characterized using various physicochemical methods such as UV–vis, ESI-MS, IRPD, and DFT calculations. Generally, manganese-oxygen adducts can activate C–H bond through an oxygen non-rebound mechanism where the rate of hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) depends on the strength of C–H bond. Herein, in the formation process of manganese–hydroxo complex, [MnIV(CHDAP–O)(OH)]2+, the C–H bond activation of the 2,6 position in cyclohexyl groups unusally proceeds via an oxygen rebound mechanism, in which HAT is identified as a rate determining step.
