Abstract

One-electron oxidation of MnV–oxo corrolazine 2 affords 2+, the first example of a MnV(O) π-cation radical porphyrinoid complex, which was characterized by UV–vis, EPR, LDI-MS, and DFT methods. Access to 2 and 2+ allowed for a direct comparison of their reactivities in oxygen-atom transfer (OAT) reactions. Both complexes are capable of OAT to PPh3 and RSR substrates, and 2+ was found to be a more potent oxidant than 2. Analysis of rate constants and activation parameters, together with DFT calculations, points to a concerted OAT mechanism for 2+ and 2 and indicates that the greater electrophilicity of 2+ likely plays a dominant role in enhancing its reactivity. These results are relevant to comparisons between Compound I and Compound II in heme enzymes.
