Photo-induced nitroxyl anion/HNO release from a nitrosyl complex of Mn(ii)–porphyrinate†
Abstract
A nitrosyl complex of MnII–porphyrinate, 1 has been synthesized and characterized. It was found to donate a nitroxyl anion (NO−) to suitable acceptors in dichloromethane solution in the presence of visible light. The evolution of N2O and the characteristic reaction with PPh3 in the presence of H+ confirms the NO−/HNO donation.
