title: A novel single-site manganese(II) complex of a pyridine derivative as a catalase mimetic for disproportionation of H2O2 in water.
abstract: A novel single site Mn(II) complex was successfully synthesized and tested in the aqueous disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide. The complex was found to be stable (HR-XAS) and exhibits catalase-like activity in neutral pH. Theoretical calculations suggested a reaction mechanism involving two complexes, changes in metal oxidation state and proton shuttling.
