Cobalt complexes as functional models for phenoxazinone synthase showing the influence of both first and second order coordination spheres on the catalytic activity and important intermediates in the ESI mass spectrum providing better information on the mechanistic pathway.
The present manuscript reports the detail synthesis, characterization, magnetic property and catechol oxidation study of a family of mixed valent (MnIIMnIII) and trivalent (MnIII) manganese complexes from a Schiff base ligand.
