Electrochemical and spectroscopic characterization of manganese(III) dodecaphenylporphyrin derivatives and X-ray structural determination of chloro(5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaphenyl porphyrinato)-manganese(III): formation of a manganese(IV) species by ozone and electrochemical oxidation

An experiment was conducted to examine the electrochemistry and ozonation reactions of manganese (III) dodecaphenylporphyrins compounds and their derivatives. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and UV-visible spectra were performed on the compounds using UV and NMR spectroscopy. Results showed that each (P)MnCl derivative can exist in five different oxidation states and that all compounds are stable in their neutral form and even during the addition of three electrons.
