The Visible Light Induced Rearrangement of a Manganese(III) Complex of an Unsymmetrical Tetradentate Schiff's Base Ligand, 4-pent-3-en-2-one, to a Manganese(III) Complex of the Symmetrical Ligand salen

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39910000728

Visible light irradiation of <2>(ClO4)2*4H2O, which contains the tetradentate unsymmetric Schiff's dianionic ligand 4-<2-(2-hydroxyphenylmethyleneamino)ethylamino>pent-3-en-2-one, results in the formation of the dimeric <2>(ClO4)2*H2O, which contains the symmetrical dianionic Schiff's base ligand N,N'-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediaminato; the X-ray crystal structure of the latter complex is reported.
