Abstract
Manganyl Mn=O species have been suggested as possible intermediates in photosynthetic water oxidation and as the reactive species in asymmetric olefin epoxidation. The first X-ray absorption spectrum for a MnV=O complex is reported. Comparison of the EXAFS data for Na[MnV=O(HMPAB) with those for lower-valent Mn complexes suggests that EXAFS measurements and edge-energy measurements are unlikely to have sufficient sensitivity to reliably reflect the presence of Mn=O species. In contrast, the preedge transition for Na[MnV=O(HMPAB) is 4-fold more intense than the most intense preedge transition observed for nonmanganyl complexes. This increase in intensity is shown to be sufficiently sensitive to allow detection of a manganyl species if it is formed. These data together with published data for the photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex provide strong evidence against the presence of manganyl Mn=O species in the oxygen-evolving complex through the S3 state.
