Abstract
MnO4- is activated by BF3 to undergo intramolecular coupling of two oxo ligands to generate O2. DFT calculations suggest that there should be a spin intercrossing between the singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces on going from the active intermediate [MnO2(OBF3)2]- to the O⋯O coupling transition state. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
