Abstract
Rate enhancements for the reduction of dioxygen by a Mn(II) complex were observed in the presence of redox-inactive group 2 metal ions. The rate changes were correlated with an increase in the Lewis acidity of the group 2 metal ions. These studies led to the isolation of heterobimetallic complexes containing Mn(III)-(μ-OH)-M(II) cores (M(II) = Ca(II), Ba(II)) in which the hydroxo oxygen atom is derived from O(2). This type of core structure has relevance to the oxygen-evolving complex within photosystem II.Entities:
