Soft X-ray signatures of cationic manganese–oxo systems, including a high-spin manganese( v ) complex

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Limitations in synthesis of high-valent metal–oxo complexes are circumvented by trapping a series of ionic Mn–oxo complexes. One of them is a rare high-spin Mn( v )–oxo, which can serve as a template to identify similar intermediates in catalysis.
