title: Manganese N-confused porphyrin reactivity: CH bond activation and meso carbon reduction.
abstract: Manganese N-confused porphyrins activate C-C and C-H bonds upon heating or air oxidation; the dimer complex [Mn(NCTPP)]2 is reduced at two meso positions, and the pyridine coordinated monomer breaks the internal C-H bond upon heating or exposure to oxygen.
