Abstract

The manganese(v) nitrido complex (PPh₄)₂[Mn(N)(CN) ₄] is an active catalyst for alkene epoxidation and alcohol oxidation using H₂O₂ as an oxidant. The catalytic oxidation is greatly enhanced by the addition of just one equivalent of acetic acid. The oxidation of ethene by this system has been studied computationally by the DFT method. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
