Abstract:A mononuclear Mn(III) complex, [MnIIIL(Cl)], has been synthesized using a newly explored Schiff base ligand, H2L. Both of them have been characterized by single crystal X‐ray crystallography, UV‐Vis spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy. Interestingly the complex behaved as a model of catechol oxidase toward oxidation of 3,5‐Di‐tert‐butyl catechol to the corresponding quinone. The progress of the oxidation process has been monitored with the help of 1H‐NMR spectroscopy after stirring the reaction mixture in methano… Show more
