Unprecedented HAT rate acceleration in water by a non-heme manganese oxo complex

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Switching the solvent from acetonitrile to water, a non-heme Mn(V)-oxo complex shows ∼20 000-fold HAT rate enhancement for C–H substrates via stabilisation in the transition-state through enhanced electrostatics and hydrogen bonding interaction.
