Dinuclear Manganese Complexes with Formal Metal-Metal Double Bonds

Dimanganese complexes featuring formal metal–metal multiple bonds are scarce. The dataset includes computational and spectroscopic analysis of the 32-electron bis-μ-phosphido complex [{Mn(CO)3(μ-PtBu2)}2] and its reduced species. This work by Preshit C. Abhyankar, last updated in April 2026, addresses the hypothesis that such bonds may act as spectators or participants in catalytic reactions.

Use Cases

• Validate computational models of metal-metal bonding based on UV–vis and resonance Raman spectroscopic data.
• Study the relationship between formal bond order and electronic transitions based on TD-DFT predictions.
• Investigate reaction pathways in dinuclear manganese catalysis based on the hypothesis of bond participation.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed publication (Chem. - Eur. J. 2023, e202300518).
• Analysis includes multiple experimental techniques: sequential reduction, UV–vis, and resonance Raman spectroscopy.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small at 67.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
