    Abstract

    Mn(v) nitrido complex [Mn(N)(CN)4]2- is an efficient catalyst for visible-light induced oxidation of alkenes and alcohols in water using [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as a photosensitizer and [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ as a sacrificial oxidant. Alkenes are oxidized to epoxides and alcohols to carbonyl compounds.
