In the title coordination compound, [Mn(2)(C(14)H(8)O(4))(C(2)O(4))(C(10)H(14)N(4))(2)](n), the biphenyl-3,3'-dicarboxyl-ate and oxalate anions, both situated on inversion centres, function in a bridging mode, linking the dinuclear Mn(II) atoms into wave-like layers. Each 1,1'-(1,4-butane-1,4-di-yl)diimidazole ligand coordinates to two Mn(II) atoms located in adjacent layers via Mn-N coordination bonds, giving a three-dimensional network. As the methyl-ene groups can bend freely relative to each other due to the C atoms connected via single bonds, the 1,1'-(butane-1,4-di-yl)diimidazole ligand forms an S-shaped conformation, which makes the void in the three-dimensional network distorted.

Context: Isatin-Schiff bases have wide applications in chemistry. The π conjugated electronic system and heterocylic structure of these materials make them valuable for use as photosensitized materials. The delocalization of π-electrons throughout the structure causes the UV-vis absorption spectra to shift to longer wavelengths.

Class I ribonucleotide reductases consisting of α and β subunits convert ribonucleoside diphosphates to deoxyribonucleoside diphosphates involving an intricate free radical mechanism. The generation of free radicals in the Class Ib ribonucleotide reductases is mediated by di-manganese ions in the β subunits and is externally assisted by flavodoxin-like NrdI subunit. This is unlike Class Ia ribonucleotide reductases, where the free radical generation is initiated at its di-iron centre in the β subunits with no external support from another subunit.

A series of hybrids comprising two metal (Mn, Fe, and In) tetraphenylporphyrins axially substituted with anionic bidentate -thioindigo ligands (TI) were obtained. Substitution of the axial chloride anion by an oxygen atom of the dye forms short M-O bonds. Crystalline binuclear assemblies (TI)·{[MnTPP]·[MnTPP]}·CHCl ( = 2 for or 1 for ) and (TI){[MTPP]}·CHCl (M = Fe and = 2 for , M = In and = 1 for ) were synthesized.

This study employs density functional theory at the SMD/B3LYP-D3/6-311+G(2d,p),def2-TZVPP//SMD/B3LYP-D3/6-31G(d),SDD level of theory to explore the mechanistic details of O generation from BuOOH, using HO as the solvent, in the presence of the Mn(II) catalyst [Mn(mcbpen)(HO)]. Since this chemistry was reported to occur through the reaction of Mn(III)(μ-O)Mn(IV)-O˙ with water, we first revaluated this proposal and found that it occurs with an activation barrier greater than 36 kcal mol, ruling out the functioning of such a dimer as the active catalyst. Experimental evidence has shown that the oxidation of [Mn(mcbpen)(HO)] by BuOOH in HO produces the Mn(IV) species [Mn(O)(mcbpen)].

One commonly observed binding motif in metalloproteins involves the interaction between a metal ion and histidine's imidazole side chains. Although previous imidazole-M(II) parameters established the flexibility and reliability of the 12-6-4 Lennard-Jones (LJ)-type nonbonded model by simply tuning the ligating atom's polarizability, they have not been applied to multiple-imidazole complexes. To fill this gap, we systematically simulate multiple-imidazole complexes (ranging from one to six) for five metal ions (Co(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II)) which commonly appear in metalloproteins.
