The stability of the peroxide ligand bridging two manganese ions in the trinuclear oxomanganese complex [MnIII 3(μ3-O)(μ-O2)(AcO)2(dien)3]2+, one of only two structurally characterized Mn clusters possessing a μ1,2-peroxo bridge, has been investigated using density functional theory. Although the pe...
