Chloride oxyanions are of interest because of their use as disinfectants and concerns over their accumulation in the environment. A water-soluble manganese porphyrin catalyzes the dismutation of chlorite (ClO2−) to chlorine dioxide (ClO2) through a series of electron- and atom-transfer reactions. A high-valent manganese(IV) oxo species is observed and the ClO2 product inhibits the reaction.
