A cubane-type manganese complex with H 2 O oxidation capabilities

We report the synthesis and characterisation of [Mn 8 K 2 O 4 (OH) 2 ((CH 3 ) 3 CCOO) 16 (CH 3 CN) 2 ] whose cluster core shares some features with the oxygen evolving complex (OEC), the natural water oxidation catalyst. Importantly, this complex provides a bio-inspired complex that promotes catalyt...

Summary:We report the synthesis and characterisation of [Mn 8 K 2 O 4 (OH) 2 ((CH 3 ) 3 CCOO) 16 (CH 3 CN) 2 ] whose cluster core shares some features with the oxygen evolving complex (OEC), the natural water oxidation catalyst. Importantly, this complex provides a bio-inspired complex that promotes catalytic H 2 O oxidation at neutral pH value.
