Abstract

Structurally characterized [Mn(L)2(OH2)2] (1) [L=3-methoxy-4-hydroxy benzaldehyde] with C2/c space group and distorted octahedral molecular geometry is found to show catecholase as well as phenoxazinone synthase activities in MeOH at room temperature. Each of the reactions with 1 as catalyst is found to be of first order with turn over numbers 5.98×102 and 3.15×102h−1, respectively. Catalyst-substrate adduct as intermediate is trapped by mass spectrometry for both the activities.
