Permethyl Manganates. Synthesis and Characterization of Divalent 2->, Trivalent 2->, and Tetravalent 2->

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00226a049

The potential use of alkyl manganates in organic alkylation reactions and the need for high-valent organomanganese species to model the oxidation of organic substrates by high-valent manganese porphyrins has prompted us to study a series of permethyl manganates.We report the synthesis and characterizarion of the +> salts of 2->, 2->, and 2->.
