Abstract
Chemical equation presented Runaway reactivity: A manganese(V)-oxo porphyrinoid complex displays an unprecedented increase in reaction rate for a hydrogen-atom abstraction upon addition of anionic axial ligands (X=F - and CN-; see scheme). Density functional theory calculations are in excellent agreement with experiment, and provide insight into the origins of these remarkable axial ligand effects. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
