Chemodivergent Manganese-Catalyzed C–H Activation: Modular Synthesis of Fluorogenic Probes

Bioorthogonal diversification of peptides is generally dependent on impractical prefunctionalization methods. Here, the authors develop a manganese(I)-catalyzed C–H fluorescent labeling with BODIPY probes, which enables the development of activatable fluorophores to image cell function

Time-resolved infra-red spectroscopy reveals competitive water and dinitrogen coordination to a manganese(<scp>i</scp>) carbonyl complex

Photolysis of [Mn(C^N)(CO)4] (C^N = bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)methanimine) in heptane solution results in ultra-fast CO dissociation and ultimate formation of a rare Mn-containing dinitrogen complex fac-[Mn(C^N)(CO)3(N2)].</p

Correction: Time-resolved infra-red spectroscopy reveals competitive water and dinitrogen coordination to a manganese(<scp>i</scp>) carbonyl complex

Correction for ‘Time-resolved infra-red spectroscopy reveals competitive water and dinitrogen coordination to a manganese(i) carbonyl complex’ by Jonathan B. Eastwood et al., Dalton Trans., 2020, DOI: 10.1039/c9dt04878b.</p

Insight into the mechanism of CO-release from trypto-CORM using ultra-fast spectroscopy and computational chemistry

Photolysis of trypto-CORM results in ultra-fast CO-dissociation and formation of a 16-e triplet followed by solvation.</p

A comprehensive understanding of carbon–carbon bond formation by alkyne migratory insertion into manganacycles

Time-resolved spectroscopy and computational chemistry have informed a unified model of alkyne migratory insertion, an important processes underpinning the transition metal-catalysed formation of C–C and C–X bonds.</jats:p
