title: Proton transfer reactions for methanol and water containing manganese ion complexes.
abstract: Under considerations in the current study are reactions of the type [Mn(LOH)(2)](2+) → [Mn(LO)](+) + LOH(2)(+), where the ligand LOH represents water or/and methanol. Preferential proton transfer reactions and loss of any ligand fragments are discussed in the light of ligand polarizability, dipole moment, dissociation energy, proton affinity, differences in ligand-ion ionization energy, and ion radii. The results indicate the proton affinity and dissociation energy of the O-H bond are more important for the overall proton transfer reaction than differences in the first ionization energy of the ligand and the second ionization energy of the metal ion.
