To determine to what extent water was the source of the evolved O2, H218O isotope-labelling experiments coupled with membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) were carried out. We discovered that during the reaction of oxone with [Mn2(OAc)2(bpmp)]+ (1), stoichiometrically labelled oxygen (18O2) was formed. This is the first example of a homogeneous reaction mediated by a synthetic manganese complex where the addition of a strong chemical oxidant yields 18O2 with labelling percentages matching the theoretically expected values for the case of both O-atoms originating from water. Experiments using lead acetate as an alternative oxidant supported this finding. A detailed investigation of the reaction by EPR spectroscopy, MIMS and Clark-type oxygen detection enabled us to propose potential reaction pathways.}, language = {en}, number = {6}, urldate = {2024-11-29}, journal = {Energy \& Environmental Science}, author = {Beckmann, Katrin and Uchtenhagen, Hannes and Berggren, Gustav and Anderlund, Magnus F. and Thapper, Anders and Messinger, Johannes and Styring, Stenbjörn and Kurz, Philipp}, month = dec, year = {2008}, note = {Publisher: The Royal Society of Chemistry}, pages = {668--676}, }
