Title: Deeper Understanding of Mononuclear Manganese(IV)–Oxo Binding Brønsted and Lewis Acids and the Manganese(IV)–Hydroxide Complex

Journal Article · · Inorganic Chemistry

Binding of Lewis acidic metal ions and Brønsted acid at the metal–oxo group of high-valent metal–oxo complexes enhances their reactivities significantly in oxidation reactions. However, such a binding of Lewis acids and proton at the metal–oxo group has been questioned in several cases and remains to be clarified. In this work, we report the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity studies of a mononuclear manganese(IV)–oxo complex binding triflic acid, {[(dpaq)MnIV(O)]–HOTf}+ (1–HOTf). First, 1–HOTf was synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, including resonance Raman (rRaman) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy/extended X-ray absorption fine structure. In particular, in rRaman experiments, we observed a linear correlation between the Mn–O stretching frequencies of 1–HOTf (e.g., νMn–O at ~793 cm–1) and 1–Mn+ (Mn+ = Ca2+, Zn2+, Lu3+, Al3+, or Sc3+) and the Lewis acidities of H+ and Mn+ ions, suggesting that H+ and Mn+ bind at the metal–oxo moiety of [(dpaq)MnIV(O)]+. Interestingly, a single-crystal structure of 1–HOTf was obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis, but the structure was not an expected Mn(IV)–oxo complex but a Mn(IV)–hydroxide complex, [(dpaq)MnIV(OH)](OTf)2 (4), with a Mn–O bond distance of 1.8043(19) Å and a Mn–O stretch at 660 cm–1. More interestingly, 4 reverted to 1–HOTf upon dissolution, demonstrating that 1–HOTf and 4 are interconvertible depending on the physical states, such as 1–HOTf in solution and 4 in isolated solid. The reactivity of 1–HOTf was investigated in hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions and then compared with those of 1–Mn+ complexes; an interesting correlation between the Mn–O stretching frequencies of 1–HOTf and 1–Mn+ and their reactivities in the OAT and HAT reactions is reported for the first time in this study.
