title: [Biomimetic oxidation of benzene by a polynuclear manganese complex [Mn12O12(CH3CO2)16(H2O)4] under mild conditions].
abstract: The possibility of monooxygenase enzymes biomimetic construction models with the use of polynuclear manganese complexes was shown. It was demonstration that benzene is oxidized by polynuclear manganese complex [Mn12O12(CH3CO2)16(H2O)4] in acetonitrile solution at room temperature and atmospheric pressure yielding phenol with the selectivity more than 80%. It was determined that the addition of air oxygen as the reoxidizer to the reaction mixture didn't transfer the reaction into the catalytic mode.
