Abstract
Binuclear manganese complex [(bipy)2Mn2(μ-O)(μ-Ac)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 was synthesized by the reaction of MnAc3 · 2H2O with 2,2′-bipyridine in the HAc-NaAc buffer (pH = 4.0). X-ray diffraction result for the single crystal shows that the crystal is monoclinic, space group C2/C, with a = 3.408 2(7),b = 0.864 4(2),c = 2.174 9(4) nm, β= 105.2∘, V=6.186(2) nm3, Z= 8. There are two very strong peaks of UV-Vis spectrum in the range of 400–600 nm, which are similar to those of Mn catalase and Mn ribonuleotide reductase extracted from organisms. Cyclic voltammogram shows that the complex in CH3CN undergoes quasi-reversible one-electron reduction and oxidation at E1/2=1.15V.
