Experimental and Computational Determination of a M-Cl Homolytic Bond Dissociation Free Energy: Mn(III)Cl-Mediated C-H Cleavage and Chlorination.

This study confirms the hypothesis that [MnCl(OPPh)] () and acetonitrile-solvated MnCl (i.e., [MnCl(MeCN)]) can be used as synthons to prepare Mn(III) chloride complexes with facially coordinating ligands.
