Abstract
The new complex [Mn(bipyalk)(H2O)(µ-O)]2(OTf)2 {bipyalk = 2-([2,2′-bipyridin]-6-yl)propan-2-olate} catalyzes oxygen evolution with a TOF of 0.0055 s–1 when driven by the sacrificial oxidant KHSO5 in water. It is proposed on the basis of EPR experiments that the catalyst proceeds through a MnV(µ-O)2MnV=O intermediate supported by the highly donating tertiary alkoxide moiety of the ligand. The Mn(IV,IV) dimer can also be formed electrochemically from its precursor, Mn(bipyalkH)Cl2. A related series of bis-ligated monomers of the type [Mnn(bipyalkHx)(bipyalkHy)](PF6)2 is also reported, where the dication features MnII, MnIII, and MnIV oxidation states and corresponding protonation states. Electrochemical data on this series underscore the importance of proton loss at the alcohol/alkoxide moiety during oxidation to maintain low overpotentials required for catalysis.
