High-valent transition-metal–oxo complexes are electrophilic oxidants implicated in a variety of biological processes and chemical transformations.[1] Manganese (V)–oxo species are suggested to be crucial intermediates in the epoxidation of a wide range of alkenes and they provide useful functional models for the active species of heme-containing monooxygenases, including cytochrome P450 enzymes. Manganese–oxo units are also found at the core of photoACHTUNGTRENNUNGsystem II, performing oxidation of water to oxygen.[2]MnV–oxo–porphyrin complexes are analogous to the socalled Compound I intermediate, described as an FeIV–oxo–porphyrin radical cation complex. They were first prepared by Groves in aqueous solution and characterised as diamagnetic low-spin d2 ground state.[3] Other examples of complexes bearing a MnV–oxo unit bound to macrocyclic and salen ligands have also been described.[4] Interestingly, the oxygen-atom-transfer (OAT) reactivity of MnV–oxo–porphyrin complexes soluble in water is found to be strongly pH-dependent. The pronounced enhancement observed at low pH has been explained by the effect of the axial ligand trans to the MnV–oxo unit on the electron promotion energy required to access the reactive high-spin states and by the existence of the prototropic equilibria in water depicted in Equation (1).
