The structure and reactivity of a series of high-valent oxo complexes of Ru and Mn: Ru(III)-mediated catalytic oxygenation of triphenylphosphine, characterization of binuclear Mn(III,III) and Mn(III,IV) dimers, and mononuclear iron(III) and iron(IV)

The synthesis, structure, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and reactivity of the novel oxo complexes Pr;Detailed kinetic and product studies of C-H bond activation and O-atom transfer reactions of the structurally characterized complex Ph;The synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and structures of the novel alkoxide bridged Mn(III, III) and Mn(III, IV) dimers are presented. The Mn(III, III) dimer is the immediate synthetic precursor to the Mn(V)-oxo complex. The Mn centers are weakly antiferromagnetically coupled, the magnitude of which is surprisingly dependent upon the size of the counterion. The relative order of the coupling J was established to be Lithium ;The synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and structure of the complex (Et...
