The mononuclear hydroxomanganese(III) complex, [Mn-III(OH)(dpaq)](+), which is supported by the amide-containing N-s ligand dpaq (dpaq = 2-[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)]amino-N-quinolin-8-yl-acetamidate) was generated by treatment of the manganese(II) species, [Mn-II(dpaq)]-(OTf), with dioxygen in acetonitrile solution at 25 degrees C. This oxygenation reaction proceeds with essentially quantitative yield (greater than 98% isolated yield) and represents a rare example of an O-2-mediated oxidation of a manganese(II) complex to generate a single product. The X-ray diffraction structure of [Mn-III(OH)(dpaq)](+) reveals a short Mn-OH distance of 1.806(13) angstrom, with the hydroxo moiety trans to the amide function of the dpaq ligand. No shielding of the hydroxo group is observed in the solid-state structure. Nonetheless, [Mn-III(OH)(dpaq)](+) is remarkably stable, decreasing in concentration by only 10% when stored in MeCN at 25 degrees C for 1 week The [Mn-III(OH)(dpaq)](+) complex participates in proton-coupled electron transfer reactions with substrates with relatively weak O-H and C-H bonds. For example, [Mn-III(OH)(dpaq)](+) oxidizes TEMPOH (TEMPOH = 2,2'-6,6'-tetramethylpiperidine-1-ol), which has a bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of 66.5 kcal/mol, in MeCN at 25 degrees C. The hydrogen/deuterium kinetic isotope effect of 1.8 observed for this reaction implies a concerted proton-electron transfer pathway. The [Mn-III(OH)(dpaq)](+) complex also oxidizes xanthene (C-H BDFE of 73.3 kcal/mol in dimethylsulfoxide) and phenols, such as 2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenol, with BDFEs of less than 79 kcal/mol. Saturation kinetics were observed for phenol oxidation, implying an initial equilibrium prior to the rate-determining step. On the basis of a collective body of evidence, the equilibrium step is attributed to the formation of a hydrogen-bonding complex between [Mn-III(OH)(dpaq)](+) and the phenol substrates.
