Manganese function

This review is intended to summarize the PS II/OEC unit in terms of its polypeptide and electron transfer cofactor composition, its electron transfer pathways and its mode of operation in producing oxygen. The photochemical aspects of its operation wil be dealt with only cursorily as these are treated in detail in Chapter 4 of this volume. There has been considerable review activity recently on specific aspects of PS II/OEC function, including articles on polypeptide composition [7-9], manganese function [10-12], electron transfer and Oj-evolving properties [13-18] and the chloride requirement [19].

Would the tricarbonyl manganese function in monomer 8 prevent homopolymerization, or undergo electron transfer from manganese to the propagating radical center Homopolymerization kinetic studies in benzene, benzonitrile, and acetone demonstrated that the effect of manganese was different than that of iron in 1. The rate law was three halves order in the concentration of monomer 8 and half-order in initiator concentration.53... 

This may be thought of as the probability density of the augmented manganese function,... 

Manganese functions as the prosthetic group of a variety of enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, a part of the body s antioxidant defence system (section 7.4.3.1), pyruvate carboxylase in gluconeogenesis (section 5.7) and arginase in urea synthesis (section 9.3.1.4). Deficiency has been observed only in deliberate depletion studies. 

Ahn and coworkers showed that it was possible to combine the PSM of an amine to form an imine-based ligand and coordination of a metal to this into a single step. They reported that lRMOF-3 reacts with [Mn(acac)2] to form a catalytically active manganese-functionalized MOF (equation 21). ...
