    Abstract

    This study deals with the unprecedented reactivity of
    dinuclear non heme MnII–thiolate complexes with O2, which
    dependent on the protonation state of the initial MnII dimer
    selectively generates either a di-μ-oxo or μ-oxo-μ-hydroxo MnIV
    complex. Both dimers have been characterized by different
    techniques including single-crystal X-ray diffraction and mass
    spectrometry. Oxygenation reactions carried out with labeled 18O2
    unambiguously shows that the oxygen atoms present in the MnIV
    dimers originate from O2. Based on experimental observations and
    DFT calculations, evidence is provided that these MnIV species
    comproportionate with a MnII precursor to yield μ-oxo and/or μ-
    hydroxo MnIII dimers. Our work highlights the delicate balance of
    reaction conditions to control the synthesis of non heme high-valent
    μ-oxo and μ-hydroxo Mn species from MnII precursors and O2.
