title: Nitrogen atom transfer between manganese complexes of salen, porphyrin, and corrole and characterization of a (nitrido)manganese(VI) corrole.
abstract: The investigations of complete nitrogen atom transfer reactions from (nitrido)manganese(V) salen to manganese(III) complexes of porphyrins and corroles revealed that stabilization of the [Mn(N)]2+ moiety is in the order of corrole > porphyrin > salen. The first kinetic examination of this quite fundamental reaction exposed a large solvent effect on both the enthalpy and entropy activation energies. Oxidation of the (nitrido)manganese(V) corroles leads to the first (nitrido)manganese(VI) complexes that are coordinated by tetrapyrrolic ligands.
