Published: April 2014

Manganese-corrole complexes in combination with a co-catalyst [PPN]X ([PPN](+)=bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)iminium) were found to be new versatile catalysts for the polymerization of epoxides, copolymerization of epoxides with CO2, and copolymerization of epoxides with cyclic anhydrides affording a wide range of polymeric materials. This work should allow the synthesis of new types of improved innovative (co)polymers with original properties and would clearly increase the number of applications for polyesters, polycarbonates, and polyethers.

The Mn-oxygen species have been implicated as key intermediates in various Mn-mediated oxidation reactions. However, artificial oxidants were often used for the synthesis of the Mn-oxygen intermediates. Remarkably, the Mn(v)-oxo and Mn(iv)-peroxo species have been observed in the activation of O by Mn(iii) corroles in the presence of base (OH) and hydrogen donors.

Water nucleophilic attack (WNA) on high-valent terminal Mn-oxo species is proposed for O-O bond formation in natural and artificial water oxidation. Herein, we report an electrocatalytic water oxidation reaction with Mn tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole () in propylene carbonate (PC). O was generated at the Mn potential with hydroxide, but a more anodic potential was required to evolve O with only water.

The controlled electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to value added chemicals is an important strategy in terms of renewable energy technologies. Therefore, the development of efficient and stable catalysts in an aqueous environment is of great importance. In this context, we focused on synthesizing and studying a molecular Mn -corrole complex, which is modified on the three meso-positions with polyethylene glycol moieties for direct and selective production of acetic acid from CO .

A homotrimetallic manganese(iii) corrole-porphyrin-corrole triad has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Corrole and porphyrin rings in the free base corrole-porphyrin-corrole triad are found to be roughly perpendicular to each other having a dihedral angle of 83° in the solid state. A dihedral angle of nearly 67° was found between Mn(iii)-corroles and Mn(iii)-porphyrin rings in the manganese triad complex, 1-Mn.

Presented herein is a detailed multitechnique investigation of ligand noninnocence in S = / manganese corrole derivatives at the formal Mn oxidation state. The Soret maxima of Mn[T pXPC]Cl (T pXPC = meso-tris( p-X-phenyl)corrole, where X = CF, H, Me, and OMe) were found to red-shift over a range of 37 nm with increasing electron-donating character of X. For Mn[T pXPC]Ph, in contrast, the complex Soret envelopes were found to be largely independent of X.
