Mononuclear manganese(iii) complexes with reduced imino nitroxide radicals by single-electron transfer and intermolecular hydrogen bonds as an intramolecular structural driving force

Abstract

One-electron transfer from Mn(ii) ions to an imino nitroxide radical gives mononuclear Mn(iii) complexes of the reduced amino imine-oxide form for which crystal structures evidence hydrogen bonds networks acting as a stabilizing driving-force.
