Figure 1.
Electronic absorbance spectra illustrating the conversion of [MnIIH2bupa]− (⋯) to [MnIIIH3bupa(O2)]− (- - -) (A) and [MnIIIH3bupa(O2)]− to 1 (—) (B) measured in DMSO at room temperature. Inset is the absorbance spectrum of purified 1 measured in DMA at room temperature. Spectra in A were recorded every 10 min and those in B were collected every 20 min. The concentration of [MnIIH2bupa]− was 2.1 mM.
