Abstract
Addition of the Lewis acid Zn 2+ to (TBP 8Cz)Mn V(O) induces valence tautomerization, resulting in the formation of [(TBP 8Cz +•)Mn IV(O)-Zn 2+]. This new species was characterized by UV-vis, EPR, the Evans method, and 1H NMR and supported by DFT calculations. Removal of Zn 2+ quantitatively restores the starting material. Electron-transfer and hydrogen-atom-transfer reactions are strongly influenced by the presence of Zn 2+. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
