Alkane oxidation by a carboxylate-bridged dimanganese(III) complex.
A new manganese(II) oxamato dimer possesing an unprecedented Mn2(mu-O2CR)(mu-OH2...O2CR) core has been synthesised, structurally and magnetically characterised, and used as a catalyst for the oxidation of alkanes to alcohols and ketones by ButO2H and O2 in CH2Cl2 at rt.
