Abstract

Reactions of [H4L][PF6]4 with 4 equiv. of Mn(OAc)2·4H2O in the presence of air gave rise to a mononuclear Mn(III)–superoxo complex [Mn(III)L(O2)(H2O)](PF6)2, which contains a bowl-shaped cationic structure with a D4d symmetry. It has an unprecedented linear end-on Mn(III)–O2 unit and exhibited good efficiency and selectivity in the catalytic oxidation of alkenes with O2 plus isobutyraldehyde under mild conditions.
