The Schiff-base complexes (X-SALPRN)Mn[sup II] [X = H, 5-Cl, 5-CH[sub 3]O; SALPRN = 1,3-bis(salicylideneamino)propane] were reacted with dioxygen in CH[sub 3]CN and CH[sub 2]Cl[sub 2]. Mn(IV), and Mn(IV) bis([mu]-oxo) dimers [(X-SALPRN)Mn[sup IV]([mu]-O)][sub 2][X = H (1), 5-Cl (2), 5-CH[sub 3]O (3)] were isolated in high yields and as the sole products from oxygenation in CH[sub 3]CN, but two products were isolated when the oxygenation was performed in CH[sub 2]Cl[sub 2]. One product was the bis([mu]-oxo) dimer, while the second was a green compound formulated as [l brace][(X-SALPRN)Mn[sup III]][sub 2]O[r brace][sub x], where x = 1 or 2 [X = H (4), 5-Cl (5), 5-CH[sub 3]O (6)]. These green compounds formed by reaction of 1-3 with its appropriate Mn(II) complex in a 1:2 ratio. The bis([mu]-oxo) dimers each exhibited a single, reversible one-electron couple E[sup o][sub 1] = [minus]480 mV, E[sup o][sub 2] = [minus]340 mV, and E[sup o][sub 3] = [minus]590 mV all vs SSCE. All of the green compounds exhibited two redox processes, both of which were multielectron and transfer reactions. The ESR spectrum of a frozen solution of the mixed-valence form of 1 observed at 6 K showed the presence of an antiferromagnetically coupled S = [1/2] system with the following best fit parameters: g[sub x] = 2.0092, g[sub y] = 2.0061, g[sub z] = 1.9925; A[sub 1x] = 492 MHz, A[sub 1y] = 448 MHz, A[sub 1z] = 385 MHz, A[sub 2x] = 231 MHz, A[sub 2y] = 227 MHz, A[sub 2x] = 209 MHz. A complete intermetal oxygen atom transfer reaction for compound 4 was observed to occur with (SALEN)Fe[sup II] [SALEN = 1,2-bis(salicylideneamino)ethane] resulting in formation of the (SALPRN)Mn[sup II] and [(SALEN)Fe[sup III]][sub 2]([mu]-O) (7), both in quantitative yield. 53 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
