1 Introduction
Oxidative stress causes uncontrolled oxidation of organicmolecules with secondary alteration of their structure andbiological functions leading to the progressive deteriorationand the collapse of organs and systems in the living organisms[1ndash3] The superoxide dismutase catalase and peroxidaseenzymes are part of the defense mechanisms against thereactive oxygen species generated by oxidative stress [4ndash7]
Vast interest has been developed to devise small moleculemodels the properties of which can be compared with dif-ferent metalloproteins [8ndash11] Biomimetic modeling of metalcomplexes has denoted a better catalytic behaviour when thecomplex is able to easily coordinate the substrate moleculeand this is favoured when the catalyst has either a vacancyin the coordination sphere or a labile ligand [12ndash15] Toachieve this a careful design of the ligand is necessary In this
connection unsymmetrical ligands are also required to imi-tate many of the active sites of the metalloproteins [16ndash18]
Tetradentate ONNO Schiff bases are well-known sys-tems for coordination of metal ions and their synthe-sis is easily accomplished by condensation of salicylalde-hyde and diamines [19 20] However this condensationfavours symmetrization processes and symmetric ligandsare systematically obtained even using a mixture of differentsalicylaldehydes in solution [21] Consequently alternativesynthetic routes should be explored to achieve unequivocallyunsymmetrical ligands
We report here on the synthesis of a new type of unsym-metrical ONNO tetradentate imino-amino bishydroxy ligandfollowing a novel seven-step synthetic route The ability ofthe new ligand to coordinate a redox-active metal ion asmanganese is checked by an electrochemical synthesis pro-cedure Finally catalytic studies to determine the peroxidase

Scheme 1 Synthetic route to obtainH2L1
[24] A singlet signal in 1H NMR at 96 ppm was assigned tothe aldehyde proton (see Figure 2)
For the further course of the synthesis 4-bromo-sali-cylaldehyde reacted with methylamine in the presence of areducing agent such as sodium borohydride [25] This led toformation of primary amine 3 The salicylamine was identi-fied by the broad signal at about 48ndash42 ppm of the amineproton and also by the singlet at 38 ppm corresponding tothe protons of the methylene group
In a fourth step aminophenol 3 was condensed withphthalimidoacetaldehyde 2 affording benzoxazine 4 The1H NMR triplet at 51 ppm was characterised as the signalfrom the proton of the carbon between N and O atoms (seeFigure 2)The absence in 4 of the IR band at about 2600 cmminus1corresponding to the phenolic and aminic vibrational modes(showed in 2 and 3) also confirmed the progress of thereaction
Reductive cleavage of the acetalic C-O bond of 4 usingsodium cyanoborohydride gave N-phthaloyl-protected ethy-lene diamine 5 The benzoxacine signals disappeared inthe 1H NMR spectrum and the triplets at 38 ppm and27 ppm from themethylene chain formed [26] Deprotectionof 5 by hydrazinolysis proceeded smoothly showing thedisappearance of the phthalimide signals in 1H NMR and
the formation of a new broad signal at 41ndash37 ppm from theamine protons [27]
Primary amine 6 was finally condensed with 4-bromo-salicylaldehyde affording the Schiff baseH2L1 ((E)-4-bromo-2-(((2-((5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)(methyl)amino)eth-yl)imino)methyl)phenol) The imine group from H2L1 isidentified by the singlet peak at 812 ppm (see 1H NMR inFigure 2) and also by the strong IR band at 1634 cmminus1 Other1H NMR signals elemental analysis and ES spectrometryconfirm the formation and purity of the H2L1 amine-imineligand
The reaction of H2L1 with a manganese plate inan electrochemical cell yields complex 7 with formula[MnL1(OH

the cell around 05mol Fminus1 is in accordance with the follow-ing mechanism of the reaction

The IR spectrum of 7 shows a strong band at 1627 cmminus1attributable to ](C=N) This band appears 7 cmminus1 shifted tolower frequency with respect to the free ligand Moreover](CminusO) band is also shifted 3 cmminus1 to higher frequency withrespect to the free ligand This behaviour is compatible withthe participation of both imine nitrogen and phenolic oxygenatoms in the coordination to the manganese ion illustratingthe dianionic and tetradentate character of this ligand in thecomplex [29]
The FAB mass spectra show a peak due to the fragment[MnL]+ which thus further corroborate coordination of theligand to the metal centre The conductivity value (9 120583S)suggests the nonionogenous nature for 7 [30]
Magnetic measurements were performed at room tem-perature for 7 with diamagnetic corrections The magneticmoment 120583 = 594 B M is close to those expected formagnetically dilute Mn(II) ions confirming the oxidationstate II for the central atom and therefore confirmingthe notion that the ligand acts as dianion The study ofthe magnetic behaviour at different applied field strengths(Table 1) confirms the values expected for magnetically diluteMn(II) ions Thus magnetic data suggest the presence ofmanganese(II) ion in an octahedral environment with littleor no interaction between neighbouring metal centres
Cyclic voltammogram of 7 was measured in dimethyl-formamide (DMF) over a potential range from +100 tominus100V In DMF solution the complex exhibits a quasi-reversible one-electron reduction-oxidation wave which atslow scan rates of about 002V sminus1 is reversible (Figure 3119864ox = 0488V 119864red = 0150V) Nevertheless the peak-to-peak separation (0338V) is slightly longer than in otherseries of manganese(II) complexes derived from tetradentateSchiff base ligands [12 13] highlighting a poorer reversiblecharacter for the present complex

Journal of Chemistry 7
With regard to the peroxidase activity two of the mostimportant questions that are of concern are (a) the rate ofreversibility of the Mn(II)Mn(III) redox potentials and (b)the ease of coordination of the substrate molecule to themanganese ion The peak-to-peak separation of 0338V forthe oxidation-reduction wave of 7 is slightly longer than inother series of efficient peroxidase mimics and even longerthan in other series of Mn(II) inactive complexes Despitethis limited reversible character the behaviour of complex7 as peroxidase mimic may be attributable to its capacityto coordinate the substrate molecule Our strategy in thedesign of the ligand H2L1 sought adequate conformationsand flexibility to coordinate metal ions in a way that twoadjacent positions of the coordination sphere may be vacantor filled with labile ligandsThe different hybridization modefor the amino (sp3) and imino (sp2) groups may favourthe tetracoordination of the organic ligand outside from theequatorial plane of the metal ion In this case two of the cispositions of a hypothetical first coordination sphere wouldnot be occupied by the ligand and subsequently these twocis positions would be able to coordinate a suitable substratemolecule for catalysis
On the other hand the reversible character of the redoxpotentials for this new type of complexes may be increasedusing different electron donorwithdrawing substituents onthe phenyl rings of the ligand [36ndash38] Thus more efficientperoxidase mimics would be achieved using this new typeof asymmetric ligands containing both amino and iminogroups by employing appropriate substituents on the phenylrings
4 Conclusions
Complex 7 which behaves as a manganese(II) peroxidasemimic incorporates a new asymmetric ligandH2L1 contain-ing both amino and imino groups The seven-step syntheticroute for H2L1 afforded successfully the desired asymmetricproduct with a reasonable yield This synthetic strategy maybe used to obtain a new family of organic ligands suitablefor coordination of different metal ions The variety of thisnovel family of ligands may be envisioned by the chanceof replacing the methylamine used in the third step of thesynthetic route by different amines or amino acidsTheperox-idase activity of this type of complexes would be enhanced byemploying electron donorwithdrawing substituents on thephenyl rings to get complexes with better reversible characterfor the electrochemical processes

Scheme 1 Synthetic route to obtainH2L1
[24] A singlet signal in 1H NMR at 96 ppm was assigned tothe aldehyde proton (see Figure 2)
For the further course of the synthesis 4-bromo-sali-cylaldehyde reacted with methylamine in the presence of areducing agent such as sodium borohydride [25] This led toformation of primary amine 3 The salicylamine was identi-fied by the broad signal at about 48ndash42 ppm of the amineproton and also by the singlet at 38 ppm corresponding tothe protons of the methylene group
In a fourth step aminophenol 3 was condensed withphthalimidoacetaldehyde 2 affording benzoxazine 4 The1H NMR triplet at 51 ppm was characterised as the signalfrom the proton of the carbon between N and O atoms (seeFigure 2)The absence in 4 of the IR band at about 2600 cmminus1corresponding to the phenolic and aminic vibrational modes(showed in 2 and 3) also confirmed the progress of thereaction
Reductive cleavage of the acetalic C-O bond of 4 usingsodium cyanoborohydride gave N-phthaloyl-protected ethy-lene diamine 5 The benzoxacine signals disappeared inthe 1H NMR spectrum and the triplets at 38 ppm and27 ppm from themethylene chain formed [26] Deprotectionof 5 by hydrazinolysis proceeded smoothly showing thedisappearance of the phthalimide signals in 1H NMR and
the formation of a new broad signal at 41ndash37 ppm from theamine protons [27]
Primary amine 6 was finally condensed with 4-bromo-salicylaldehyde affording the Schiff baseH2L1 ((E)-4-bromo-2-(((2-((5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)(methyl)amino)eth-yl)imino)methyl)phenol) The imine group from H2L1 isidentified by the singlet peak at 812 ppm (see 1H NMR inFigure 2) and also by the strong IR band at 1634 cmminus1 Other1H NMR signals elemental analysis and ES spectrometryconfirm the formation and purity of the H2L1 amine-imineligand
The reaction of H2L1 with a manganese plate inan electrochemical cell yields complex 7 with formula[MnL1(OH
2)2]sdotH2O [28] The electrochemical efficiency of
the cell around 05mol Fminus1 is in accordance with the follow-ing mechanism of the reaction

Table 1 Magnetic susceptibility and magnetic moment for 7 atdifferent applied field strengths

300∘C without decomposition The complex is insoluble orsparingly soluble in water and common organic solvents butsoluble in polar coordinating solvents such as DMF DMSOand pyridine
The IR spectrum of 7 shows a strong band at 1627 cmminus1attributable to ](C=N) This band appears 7 cmminus1 shifted tolower frequency with respect to the free ligand Moreover](CminusO) band is also shifted 3 cmminus1 to higher frequency withrespect to the free ligand This behaviour is compatible withthe participation of both imine nitrogen and phenolic oxygenatoms in the coordination to the manganese ion illustratingthe dianionic and tetradentate character of this ligand in thecomplex [29]
The FAB mass spectra show a peak due to the fragment[MnL]+ which thus further corroborate coordination of theligand to the metal centre The conductivity value (9 120583S)suggests the nonionogenous nature for 7 [30]
Magnetic measurements were performed at room tem-perature for 7 with diamagnetic corrections The magneticmoment 120583 = 594 B M is close to those expected formagnetically dilute Mn(II) ions confirming the oxidationstate II for the central atom and therefore confirmingthe notion that the ligand acts as dianion The study ofthe magnetic behaviour at different applied field strengths(Table 1) confirms the values expected for magnetically diluteMn(II) ions Thus magnetic data suggest the presence ofmanganese(II) ion in an octahedral environment with littleor no interaction between neighbouring metal centres
Cyclic voltammogram of 7 was measured in dimethyl-formamide (DMF) over a potential range from +100 tominus100V In DMF solution the complex exhibits a quasi-reversible one-electron reduction-oxidation wave which atslow scan rates of about 002V sminus1 is reversible (Figure 3119864ox = 0488V 119864red = 0150V) Nevertheless the peak-to-peak separation (0338V) is slightly longer than in otherseries of manganese(II) complexes derived from tetradentateSchiff base ligands [12 13] highlighting a poorer reversiblecharacter for the present complex
31 Peroxidase Studies ABTS (diammonium salt of 22-azi-nobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid) is a colour-less water-soluble compound used for clinical peroxidaseassays because of its excellent characteristics [31ndash33] Theperoxidase-like activity of 7 was followed by the oxidation ofthe ABTS at pH 68 ABTS is colourless and it reacts readily

significant capacity of hydrogen peroxide decomposition by7 The activity is comparable to that of a previous series ofMn-Schiff base complexes reported by us [12 13] but ismuch higher than an earlier Mn-Schiff base series with highsymmetrical octahedral geometries [35]
Journal of Chemistry 7
With regard to the peroxidase activity two of the mostimportant questions that are of concern are (a) the rate ofreversibility of the Mn(II)Mn(III) redox potentials and (b)the ease of coordination of the substrate molecule to themanganese ion The peak-to-peak separation of 0338V forthe oxidation-reduction wave of 7 is slightly longer than inother series of efficient peroxidase mimics and even longerthan in other series of Mn(II) inactive complexes Despitethis limited reversible character the behaviour of complex7 as peroxidase mimic may be attributable to its capacityto coordinate the substrate molecule Our strategy in thedesign of the ligand H2L1 sought adequate conformationsand flexibility to coordinate metal ions in a way that twoadjacent positions of the coordination sphere may be vacantor filled with labile ligandsThe different hybridization modefor the amino (sp3) and imino (sp2) groups may favourthe tetracoordination of the organic ligand outside from theequatorial plane of the metal ion In this case two of the cispositions of a hypothetical first coordination sphere wouldnot be occupied by the ligand and subsequently these twocis positions would be able to coordinate a suitable substratemolecule for catalysis
On the other hand the reversible character of the redoxpotentials for this new type of complexes may be increasedusing different electron donorwithdrawing substituents onthe phenyl rings of the ligand [36ndash38] Thus more efficientperoxidase mimics would be achieved using this new typeof asymmetric ligands containing both amino and iminogroups by employing appropriate substituents on the phenylrings
4 Conclusions
Complex 7 which behaves as a manganese(II) peroxidasemimic incorporates a new asymmetric ligandH2L1 contain-ing both amino and imino groups The seven-step syntheticroute for H2L1 afforded successfully the desired asymmetricproduct with a reasonable yield This synthetic strategy maybe used to obtain a new family of organic ligands suitablefor coordination of different metal ions The variety of thisnovel family of ligands may be envisioned by the chanceof replacing the methylamine used in the third step of thesynthetic route by different amines or amino acidsTheperox-idase activity of this type of complexes would be enhanced byemploying electron donorwithdrawing substituents on thephenyl rings to get complexes with better reversible characterfor the electrochemical processes

Scheme 1 Synthetic route to obtainH2L1
[24] A singlet signal in 1H NMR at 96 ppm was assigned tothe aldehyde proton (see Figure 2)
For the further course of the synthesis 4-bromo-sali-cylaldehyde reacted with methylamine in the presence of areducing agent such as sodium borohydride [25] This led toformation of primary amine 3 The salicylamine was identi-fied by the broad signal at about 48ndash42 ppm of the amineproton and also by the singlet at 38 ppm corresponding tothe protons of the methylene group
In a fourth step aminophenol 3 was condensed withphthalimidoacetaldehyde 2 affording benzoxazine 4 The1H NMR triplet at 51 ppm was characterised as the signalfrom the proton of the carbon between N and O atoms (seeFigure 2)The absence in 4 of the IR band at about 2600 cmminus1corresponding to the phenolic and aminic vibrational modes(showed in 2 and 3) also confirmed the progress of thereaction
Reductive cleavage of the acetalic C-O bond of 4 usingsodium cyanoborohydride gave N-phthaloyl-protected ethy-lene diamine 5 The benzoxacine signals disappeared inthe 1H NMR spectrum and the triplets at 38 ppm and27 ppm from themethylene chain formed [26] Deprotectionof 5 by hydrazinolysis proceeded smoothly showing thedisappearance of the phthalimide signals in 1H NMR and
the formation of a new broad signal at 41ndash37 ppm from theamine protons [27]
Primary amine 6 was finally condensed with 4-bromo-salicylaldehyde affording the Schiff baseH2L1 ((E)-4-bromo-2-(((2-((5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)(methyl)amino)eth-yl)imino)methyl)phenol) The imine group from H2L1 isidentified by the singlet peak at 812 ppm (see 1H NMR inFigure 2) and also by the strong IR band at 1634 cmminus1 Other1H NMR signals elemental analysis and ES spectrometryconfirm the formation and purity of the H2L1 amine-imineligand
The reaction of H2L1 with a manganese plate inan electrochemical cell yields complex 7 with formula[MnL1(OH
2)2]sdotH2O [28] The electrochemical efficiency of
the cell around 05mol Fminus1 is in accordance with the follow-ing mechanism of the reaction

Table 1 Magnetic susceptibility and magnetic moment for 7 atdifferent applied field strengths

300∘C without decomposition The complex is insoluble orsparingly soluble in water and common organic solvents butsoluble in polar coordinating solvents such as DMF DMSOand pyridine
The IR spectrum of 7 shows a strong band at 1627 cmminus1attributable to ](C=N) This band appears 7 cmminus1 shifted tolower frequency with respect to the free ligand Moreover](CminusO) band is also shifted 3 cmminus1 to higher frequency withrespect to the free ligand This behaviour is compatible withthe participation of both imine nitrogen and phenolic oxygenatoms in the coordination to the manganese ion illustratingthe dianionic and tetradentate character of this ligand in thecomplex [29]
The FAB mass spectra show a peak due to the fragment[MnL]+ which thus further corroborate coordination of theligand to the metal centre The conductivity value (9 120583S)suggests the nonionogenous nature for 7 [30]
Magnetic measurements were performed at room tem-perature for 7 with diamagnetic corrections The magneticmoment 120583 = 594 B M is close to those expected formagnetically dilute Mn(II) ions confirming the oxidationstate II for the central atom and therefore confirmingthe notion that the ligand acts as dianion The study ofthe magnetic behaviour at different applied field strengths(Table 1) confirms the values expected for magnetically diluteMn(II) ions Thus magnetic data suggest the presence ofmanganese(II) ion in an octahedral environment with littleor no interaction between neighbouring metal centres
Cyclic voltammogram of 7 was measured in dimethyl-formamide (DMF) over a potential range from +100 tominus100V In DMF solution the complex exhibits a quasi-reversible one-electron reduction-oxidation wave which atslow scan rates of about 002V sminus1 is reversible (Figure 3119864ox = 0488V 119864red = 0150V) Nevertheless the peak-to-peak separation (0338V) is slightly longer than in otherseries of manganese(II) complexes derived from tetradentateSchiff base ligands [12 13] highlighting a poorer reversiblecharacter for the present complex

Journal of Chemistry 7
With regard to the peroxidase activity two of the mostimportant questions that are of concern are (a) the rate ofreversibility of the Mn(II)Mn(III) redox potentials and (b)the ease of coordination of the substrate molecule to themanganese ion The peak-to-peak separation of 0338V forthe oxidation-reduction wave of 7 is slightly longer than inother series of efficient peroxidase mimics and even longerthan in other series of Mn(II) inactive complexes Despitethis limited reversible character the behaviour of complex7 as peroxidase mimic may be attributable to its capacityto coordinate the substrate molecule Our strategy in thedesign of the ligand H2L1 sought adequate conformationsand flexibility to coordinate metal ions in a way that twoadjacent positions of the coordination sphere may be vacantor filled with labile ligandsThe different hybridization modefor the amino (sp3) and imino (sp2) groups may favourthe tetracoordination of the organic ligand outside from theequatorial plane of the metal ion In this case two of the cispositions of a hypothetical first coordination sphere wouldnot be occupied by the ligand and subsequently these twocis positions would be able to coordinate a suitable substratemolecule for catalysis
On the other hand the reversible character of the redoxpotentials for this new type of complexes may be increasedusing different electron donorwithdrawing substituents onthe phenyl rings of the ligand [36ndash38] Thus more efficientperoxidase mimics would be achieved using this new typeof asymmetric ligands containing both amino and iminogroups by employing appropriate substituents on the phenylrings
4 Conclusions
Complex 7 which behaves as a manganese(II) peroxidasemimic incorporates a new asymmetric ligandH2L1 contain-ing both amino and imino groups The seven-step syntheticroute for H2L1 afforded successfully the desired asymmetricproduct with a reasonable yield This synthetic strategy maybe used to obtain a new family of organic ligands suitablefor coordination of different metal ions The variety of thisnovel family of ligands may be envisioned by the chanceof replacing the methylamine used in the third step of thesynthetic route by different amines or amino acidsTheperox-idase activity of this type of complexes would be enhanced byemploying electron donorwithdrawing substituents on thephenyl rings to get complexes with better reversible characterfor the electrochemical processes

Scheme 1 Synthetic route to obtainH2L1
[24] A singlet signal in 1H NMR at 96 ppm was assigned tothe aldehyde proton (see Figure 2)
For the further course of the synthesis 4-bromo-sali-cylaldehyde reacted with methylamine in the presence of areducing agent such as sodium borohydride [25] This led toformation of primary amine 3 The salicylamine was identi-fied by the broad signal at about 48ndash42 ppm of the amineproton and also by the singlet at 38 ppm corresponding tothe protons of the methylene group
In a fourth step aminophenol 3 was condensed withphthalimidoacetaldehyde 2 affording benzoxazine 4 The1H NMR triplet at 51 ppm was characterised as the signalfrom the proton of the carbon between N and O atoms (seeFigure 2)The absence in 4 of the IR band at about 2600 cmminus1corresponding to the phenolic and aminic vibrational modes(showed in 2 and 3) also confirmed the progress of thereaction
Reductive cleavage of the acetalic C-O bond of 4 usingsodium cyanoborohydride gave N-phthaloyl-protected ethy-lene diamine 5 The benzoxacine signals disappeared inthe 1H NMR spectrum and the triplets at 38 ppm and27 ppm from themethylene chain formed [26] Deprotectionof 5 by hydrazinolysis proceeded smoothly showing thedisappearance of the phthalimide signals in 1H NMR and
the formation of a new broad signal at 41ndash37 ppm from theamine protons [27]
Primary amine 6 was finally condensed with 4-bromo-salicylaldehyde affording the Schiff baseH2L1 ((E)-4-bromo-2-(((2-((5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)(methyl)amino)eth-yl)imino)methyl)phenol) The imine group from H2L1 isidentified by the singlet peak at 812 ppm (see 1H NMR inFigure 2) and also by the strong IR band at 1634 cmminus1 Other1H NMR signals elemental analysis and ES spectrometryconfirm the formation and purity of the H2L1 amine-imineligand
The reaction of H2L1 with a manganese plate inan electrochemical cell yields complex 7 with formula[MnL1(OH
2)2]sdotH2O [28] The electrochemical efficiency of
the cell around 05mol Fminus1 is in accordance with the follow-ing mechanism of the reaction

With regard to the peroxidase activity two of the mostimportant questions that are of concern are (a) the rate ofreversibility of the Mn(II)Mn(III) redox potentials and (b)the ease of coordination of the substrate molecule to themanganese ion The peak-to-peak separation of 0338V forthe oxidation-reduction wave of 7 is slightly longer than inother series of efficient peroxidase mimics and even longerthan in other series of Mn(II) inactive complexes Despitethis limited reversible character the behaviour of complex7 as peroxidase mimic may be attributable to its capacityto coordinate the substrate molecule Our strategy in thedesign of the ligand H2L1 sought adequate conformationsand flexibility to coordinate metal ions in a way that twoadjacent positions of the coordination sphere may be vacantor filled with labile ligandsThe different hybridization modefor the amino (sp3) and imino (sp2) groups may favourthe tetracoordination of the organic ligand outside from theequatorial plane of the metal ion In this case two of the cispositions of a hypothetical first coordination sphere wouldnot be occupied by the ligand and subsequently these twocis positions would be able to coordinate a suitable substratemolecule for catalysis
On the other hand the reversible character of the redoxpotentials for this new type of complexes may be increasedusing different electron donorwithdrawing substituents onthe phenyl rings of the ligand [36ndash38] Thus more efficientperoxidase mimics would be achieved using this new typeof asymmetric ligands containing both amino and iminogroups by employing appropriate substituents on the phenylrings
4 Conclusions
Complex 7 which behaves as a manganese(II) peroxidasemimic incorporates a new asymmetric ligandH2L1 contain-ing both amino and imino groups The seven-step syntheticroute for H2L1 afforded successfully the desired asymmetricproduct with a reasonable yield This synthetic strategy maybe used to obtain a new family of organic ligands suitablefor coordination of different metal ions The variety of thisnovel family of ligands may be envisioned by the chanceof replacing the methylamine used in the third step of thesynthetic route by different amines or amino acidsTheperox-idase activity of this type of complexes would be enhanced byemploying electron donorwithdrawing substituents on thephenyl rings to get complexes with better reversible characterfor the electrochemical processes

Table 1 Magnetic susceptibility and magnetic moment for 7 atdifferent applied field strengths

300∘C without decomposition The complex is insoluble orsparingly soluble in water and common organic solvents butsoluble in polar coordinating solvents such as DMF DMSOand pyridine
The IR spectrum of 7 shows a strong band at 1627 cmminus1attributable to ](C=N) This band appears 7 cmminus1 shifted tolower frequency with respect to the free ligand Moreover](CminusO) band is also shifted 3 cmminus1 to higher frequency withrespect to the free ligand This behaviour is compatible withthe participation of both imine nitrogen and phenolic oxygenatoms in the coordination to the manganese ion illustratingthe dianionic and tetradentate character of this ligand in thecomplex [29]
The FAB mass spectra show a peak due to the fragment[MnL]+ which thus further corroborate coordination of theligand to the metal centre The conductivity value (9 120583S)suggests the nonionogenous nature for 7 [30]
Magnetic measurements were performed at room tem-perature for 7 with diamagnetic corrections The magneticmoment 120583 = 594 B M is close to those expected formagnetically dilute Mn(II) ions confirming the oxidationstate II for the central atom and therefore confirmingthe notion that the ligand acts as dianion The study ofthe magnetic behaviour at different applied field strengths(Table 1) confirms the values expected for magnetically diluteMn(II) ions Thus magnetic data suggest the presence ofmanganese(II) ion in an octahedral environment with littleor no interaction between neighbouring metal centres
Cyclic voltammogram of 7 was measured in dimethyl-formamide (DMF) over a potential range from +100 tominus100V In DMF solution the complex exhibits a quasi-reversible one-electron reduction-oxidation wave which atslow scan rates of about 002V sminus1 is reversible (Figure 3119864ox = 0488V 119864red = 0150V) Nevertheless the peak-to-peak separation (0338V) is slightly longer than in otherseries of manganese(II) complexes derived from tetradentateSchiff base ligands [12 13] highlighting a poorer reversiblecharacter for the present complex
31 Peroxidase Studies ABTS (diammonium salt of 22-azi-nobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid) is a colour-less water-soluble compound used for clinical peroxidaseassays because of its excellent characteristics [31ndash33] Theperoxidase-like activity of 7 was followed by the oxidation ofthe ABTS at pH 68 ABTS is colourless and it reacts readily

Table 1 Magnetic susceptibility and magnetic moment for 7 atdifferent applied field strengths

300∘C without decomposition The complex is insoluble orsparingly soluble in water and common organic solvents butsoluble in polar coordinating solvents such as DMF DMSOand pyridine
The IR spectrum of 7 shows a strong band at 1627 cmminus1attributable to ](C=N) This band appears 7 cmminus1 shifted tolower frequency with respect to the free ligand Moreover](CminusO) band is also shifted 3 cmminus1 to higher frequency withrespect to the free ligand This behaviour is compatible withthe participation of both imine nitrogen and phenolic oxygenatoms in the coordination to the manganese ion illustratingthe dianionic and tetradentate character of this ligand in thecomplex [29]
The FAB mass spectra show a peak due to the fragment[MnL]+ which thus further corroborate coordination of theligand to the metal centre The conductivity value (9 120583S)suggests the nonionogenous nature for 7 [30]
Magnetic measurements were performed at room tem-perature for 7 with diamagnetic corrections The magneticmoment 120583 = 594 B M is close to those expected formagnetically dilute Mn(II) ions confirming the oxidationstate II for the central atom and therefore confirmingthe notion that the ligand acts as dianion The study ofthe magnetic behaviour at different applied field strengths(Table 1) confirms the values expected for magnetically diluteMn(II) ions Thus magnetic data suggest the presence ofmanganese(II) ion in an octahedral environment with littleor no interaction between neighbouring metal centres
Cyclic voltammogram of 7 was measured in dimethyl-formamide (DMF) over a potential range from +100 tominus100V In DMF solution the complex exhibits a quasi-reversible one-electron reduction-oxidation wave which atslow scan rates of about 002V sminus1 is reversible (Figure 3119864ox = 0488V 119864red = 0150V) Nevertheless the peak-to-peak separation (0338V) is slightly longer than in otherseries of manganese(II) complexes derived from tetradentateSchiff base ligands [12 13] highlighting a poorer reversiblecharacter for the present complex
31 Peroxidase Studies ABTS (diammonium salt of 22-azi-nobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid) is a colour-less water-soluble compound used for clinical peroxidaseassays because of its excellent characteristics [31ndash33] Theperoxidase-like activity of 7 was followed by the oxidation ofthe ABTS at pH 68 ABTS is colourless and it reacts readily

With regard to the peroxidase activity two of the mostimportant questions that are of concern are (a) the rate ofreversibility of the Mn(II)Mn(III) redox potentials and (b)the ease of coordination of the substrate molecule to themanganese ion The peak-to-peak separation of 0338V forthe oxidation-reduction wave of 7 is slightly longer than inother series of efficient peroxidase mimics and even longerthan in other series of Mn(II) inactive complexes Despitethis limited reversible character the behaviour of complex7 as peroxidase mimic may be attributable to its capacityto coordinate the substrate molecule Our strategy in thedesign of the ligand H2L1 sought adequate conformationsand flexibility to coordinate metal ions in a way that twoadjacent positions of the coordination sphere may be vacantor filled with labile ligandsThe different hybridization modefor the amino (sp3) and imino (sp2) groups may favourthe tetracoordination of the organic ligand outside from theequatorial plane of the metal ion In this case two of the cispositions of a hypothetical first coordination sphere wouldnot be occupied by the ligand and subsequently these twocis positions would be able to coordinate a suitable substratemolecule for catalysis
On the other hand the reversible character of the redoxpotentials for this new type of complexes may be increasedusing different electron donorwithdrawing substituents onthe phenyl rings of the ligand [36ndash38] Thus more efficientperoxidase mimics would be achieved using this new typeof asymmetric ligands containing both amino and iminogroups by employing appropriate substituents on the phenylrings
4 Conclusions
Complex 7 which behaves as a manganese(II) peroxidasemimic incorporates a new asymmetric ligandH2L1 contain-ing both amino and imino groups The seven-step syntheticroute for H2L1 afforded successfully the desired asymmetricproduct with a reasonable yield This synthetic strategy maybe used to obtain a new family of organic ligands suitablefor coordination of different metal ions The variety of thisnovel family of ligands may be envisioned by the chanceof replacing the methylamine used in the third step of thesynthetic route by different amines or amino acidsTheperox-idase activity of this type of complexes would be enhanced byemploying electron donorwithdrawing substituents on thephenyl rings to get complexes with better reversible characterfor the electrochemical processes
