Abstract:

Photosynthesis is the most important synthetic reaction in nature, the O2-evolution center of which contains the key Mn-O-Ca structure motif. Manganese features earth abundance, low toxicity, rich oxidative states, and unique reactivities, which makes it of great importance and hold huge potentials to achieve new synthesis unavailable by nature. In this paper, the history of manganese-enabled synthetic chemistry and its recent applications in inorganic electrochemistry and organic synthesis are reviewed briefly.

Key words: Manganese, Manganese oxides, Manganese carbonyl complexes, Synthetic chemistry
