Abstract
Recently, high-valent manganese complexes have been investigated in connection with biological functions of manganese redox enzymes such as the manganese superoxide dismutase and the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II. We have studied on the reactions of a series of manganese(III) and (IV) Schiff base complexes with superoxide ion (O -2 ) and water, respectively, in order to clarify the functions of these manganese co-factors. In the consecutive study, we have attempted to prepare novel high-valent manganese complexes.
