Manganese complexes alkoxides

A number of nitrido manganese complexes have been reported. Most of these complexes are Mnv, with only one example reported for Mnvn. These complexes typically incorporate polydentate ligands thus, no examples could be found of simple halide or alkoxide nitrido manganese complexes. Since the original disclosure by Groves and co-workers that these could be utilized as nitrogen transfer reagents, they have received considerable attention [48,49]. ... 

New compounds in this chapter are mercury containing phenates, a manganese complex previously reported with a manganese-tin bond and the ensuing oxa-stannacyclopentane. All bis(organotin)alkoxides are included in this chapter. 

One of the earliest functional mimics of catalase was reported by Mathur et al. in 1987 (438). This system employed the ligand N, N, N, N -tetrakis-(a- methylenebenzimidazolato)- 1,3-diaminopro-pane-2-ol. The complex formed with this ligand is composed of one ligand, with the alkoxide bridging the two manganese(II) ions, with a proposed bridging chloride and two terminal chlorides, one on each...

Amides and lactones are converted to aldehydes and lactols, respectively, by a hydrosilane when a titanium alkoxide is present. Two-level reduction, i.e., of esters to ethers, is achieved by using manganese carbonyl complexes [(PhjPXCOl MnAc] as catalysts.
