This brief essay consists of a few “exciting stories” devoted to relations within a metal-
complex catalyst between a metal ion and a coordinated ligand. When, as in the case of a …

The manganese‐containing catalytic system [MnIV, IV2O3 (tmtacn) 2] 2+(1)/carboxylic acid
(where tmtacn= N, N′, N′′‐trimethyl‐1, 4, 7‐triazacyclononane), initially identified for the …

Two manganese-containing catalysts have been employed in the oxidation with hydrogen
peroxide of two reactive alcohols (1-phenylethanol and glycerol): soluble catalyst [LMn (μ-O) …

Oxidation catalysts play an important role in a variety of industrial processes. These include
stain bleaching in detergent applications, the bleaching of raw cotton and wood pulp …

Hydrocarbon oxidation reactions mediated by iron centers are important in biology, bulk and
fine chemistry, and consequently of great research interest. In this chapter, well‐defined …

This work demonstrates a novel strategy that the introduction of non-redox metal ions as
Lewis acids to the classic dinuclear manganese complex [Mn IV 2 (μ-O) 3 (Me 3 tacn) 2](PF …

A robust heterogeneous Mn catalyst for selective epoxidation was prepared by the
attachment of a Mn4 oxonuclear complex [Mn4O2 (CH3COO) 7 (bipy) 2](ClO4)· 3H2O (1) on …

The catalytic oxidation of a series of alkenes by three MnII complexes, MnCl2 [(–)‐L] 2
(1),({MnCl [(–)‐L]} 2 (μ‐Cl) 2)(2), and Mn (CF3SO3) 2 [(–)‐L] 2 (3), having the bidentate N …

Methyl oleate can be efficiently (yield and selectivity attain 100%, turnover number is up to
2000) epoxidized with hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile solution at 25° C using the …

Experiments and microkinetic modeling were used to investigate the reaction mechanism of
cis-cyclooctene oxidation with H2O2 on heterogeneous manganese 1, 4, 7-trimethyl-1, 4, 7 …
