The isolation at -78°C and characterization of the novel crystalline reactive porphinatomanganese(IV) complex Mn(TDCPP)(OCl)₂ (5) is described. 5 is compared with the porphinatomanganese(IV) complexes Mn(TDCPP){C₆H₅IOCl)₂ (2), Mn(TDCPP)(C₆F₅IOCl)Cl (3) and Mn(TDCPP)(OCH₃)₂ (4). The stoichiometric reaction of 5 with triphenylphoshane yields 2.5 equivalents of triphenylphosphane oxide and 1.0 equivalent of Mn(TDCPP)Cl (1). Complex 5 epoxidizes stilbene, and oxygenates and chlorinates cyclohexane. VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH.
