Synthetic procedures for preparing the green Mn4(3,5-DBSQ)8 [manganese 3,5-di-tert-butylquinone] tetramer are reported. Spectral and structural characterization of the complex shows that the metal ions are in the Mn(II) form and that the quinone ligands are bonded as semiquinones. Weak magnetic exchange between the high-spin d5 metal ions and the paramagnetic ligands results in a magnetic moment of 5.1 .mu.B per Mn(3,5-DBSQ)2 unit at room temperature. A structural study has shown that the metal ion of this molecule is Mn(IV) and that the quinone ligands are bonded in their catecholate form. EPR spectra verify the d3 configuration of the metal ion. In toluene solution at room temperature purple crystals of the complex give a green solution. At temperatures below 230.degree. K the solution assumes the purple color of the crystals. Spectral evidence suggests an equilibrium between MnII(3,4-DBSQ)2(py)2 (green) and MnIV(3,4-DBCat)2(py)2 (purple) forms of the complex over the temperature range between 230 and 300 K in toluene. In pyridine the equilibrium temperature range is increased by approximately 100.degree. K. The physical and structural properties of the manganese complexes are compared with the properties of the manganese protein associated with photosynthetic water oxidation.
