Carboxylate-rich hybrid ligands in Mn(II) complexes as precursors for water oxidation reactions

Dalton Trans. 2014 Jan 28;43(4):1821-8. doi: 10.1039/c3dt51666k.

Abstract

A new family of Mn(II) complexes stabilized by carboxylate-rich hybrid ligands has been synthesized, characterized and applied as catalytic precursors for MnO2 nanoparticles in water oxidation by (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6.
