Abstract
Mn(IV)-peroxo and Mn(V)-oxo corroles were synthesized and characterized with various spectroscopic techniques. The intermediates were directly used in O-O bond cleavage and formation reactions. Upon addition of proton to the Mn(IV)-peroxo corrole, the formation of the Mn(V)-oxo corrole was observed. Interestingly, addition of base to the Mn(V)-oxo corrole afforded the formation of the Mn(IV)-peroxo corrole. Thus, we were able to report the first example of reversible O-O bond cleavage and formation reactions using in situ generated Mn(IV)-peroxo and Mn(V)-oxo corroles.
