Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mononuclear manganese complex preparation technology, specifically relating to mononuclear manganese complexes containing acetylacetone and β-ketoimine ligands and their preparation methods. Background Technology

[0002] Mononuclear divalent manganese complexes containing two acetylacetone anions are commonly used manganese-containing reagents due to their good solubility and the ease with which the acetylacetone ligands can be removed. They are widely used in the preparation of manganese-based catalysts, magnetic materials, and battery materials. However, since divalent manganese ions are generally six-coordinated, and each acetylacetone anion provides at most two oxygen atoms for coordination, mononuclear divalent manganese complexes containing two acetylacetone ligands usually also bind at least two water molecules. Furthermore, these complexes are highly deliquescent, resulting in the presence of even more water molecules (including coordinated and non-coordinated water molecules), making accurate quantification difficult and severely limiting their application in strictly anhydrous systems. In addition, it is worth noting that complexes containing other types of ligands (such as ClO4) are also problematic. - Cl - CH3CO2 - Mononuclear divalent manganese compounds also suffer from the problem of an uncertain number of water molecules, making it difficult to accurately quantify these compounds and use them in strictly anhydrous reactions. There is an urgent need to develop inexpensive, readily available, well-defined, and anhydrous divalent mononuclear manganese reagents.

[0003] There are relatively few mononuclear trivalent manganese ion compounds, mainly because mononuclear trivalent Mn ions have high oxidizing power, making them very unstable. Currently, the most common trivalent manganese ion reagent is the acetylacetone trivalent manganese complex (Mn... III (acac)3). Its preparation requires potassium permanganate as a manganese source and oxidant, but due to the strong oxidizing power of potassium permanganate, there are significant safety risks, and the preparation process generates acetic acid as a byproduct, making purification difficult. Currently, there is an urgent need to develop a cheap, readily available, well-defined mononuclear trivalent manganese reagent that is anhydrous. Summary of the Invention
