Synthesis, structural and physicochemical properties of a series of manganese(II) complexes with a novel N5 tripodal-amidate ligand and their potential use as water oxidation catalysts

Synthesis and Characterization of Bipyridyl-(Imidazole)n Mn(II) Compounds and Their Evaluation as Potential Precatalysts for Water Oxidation

“…However, anionic donors are not strictly necessary, as evidenced by the report from Smith of a dicationic mononuclear manganese pyridinophane complex (Figure 2C) that is effective in electrocatalytic water oxidation (TON = 16-24) [23]. Scattered examples of other mononuclear manganese complexes that are competent precatalysts for electrocatalytic water oxidation, often supported by poly-dentate nitrogen donor ligands, have been reported in the last few years, although in some cases, the nature of the active catalyst in the system is not yet clear [24][25][26][27].…”

“…Molecules 2023, 28, x FOR PEER REVIEW 3 of 26 oxidation, often supported by polydentate nitrogen donor ligands, have been reported in the last few years, although in some cases, the nature of the active catalyst in the system is not yet clear [24][25][26][27].…”

Modification of Glassy Carbon Electrodes with Complexes of Manganese(II) with Some Phenanthroline Derivatives Immobilized in Nafion Layer

“…They have found use as mediators of chemical reactions and act as selective receptors. For this reason, interest in the synthesis of Mn ion complexes to study their structural, chemical, electrochemical and oxidative properties has developed and continues to grow [5][6][7]. However, the problems of separating the catalyst from the reaction products and regenerating its active form are causing research to shift from homogeneous catalysis toward heterogeneous catalysis and electrocatalysis [8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”
