Analysis of extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data for the Mn IV ‐oxo complexes [Mn IV (O)( DMM N4py)] 2+ , [Mn IV (O)(2pyN2B)] 2+ , and [Mn IV (O)(2pyN2Q)] 2+ ( DMM N4py= N , N ‐bis(4‐methoxy‐3,5‐dimethyl‐2‐pyridylmethyl)‐ N ‐bis(2‐pyridyl)methylamine; 2pyN2B=( N ‐bis(1‐methyl‐2‐benzimidazolyl)methyl‐ N ‐(bis‐2‐pyridylmethyl)amine, and 2pyN2Q= N , N ‐bis(2‐pyridyl)‐ N , N ‐bis(2‐quinolylmethyl)methanamine) afforded Mn=O and Mn−N bond lengths. The Mn=O distances for [Mn IV (O)( DMM N4py)] 2+ and [Mn IV (O)(2pyN2B)] 2+ are 1.72 and 1.70 Å, respectively. In contrast, the Mn=O distance for [Mn IV (O)(2pyN2Q)] 2+ was significantly longer (1.76 Å). We attribute this long distance to sample heterogeneity, which is reasonable given the reduced stability of [Mn IV (O)(2pyN2Q)] 2+ . The Mn=O distances for [Mn IV (O)( DMM N4py)] 2+ and [Mn IV (O)(2pyN2B)] 2+ could only be well‐reproduced using DFT‐derived models that included strong hydrogen‐bonds between second‐sphere solvent 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol molecules and the oxo ligand. These results suggest an important role for the 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol solvent in stabilizing Mn IV ‐oxo adducts. The DFT methods were extended to investigate the structure of the putative [Mn IV (O)(N4py)] 2+ ⋅(HOTf) 2 adduct. These computations suggest that a Mn IV ‐hydroxo species is most consistent with the available experimental data.
