CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRY OF 1-(n-HEXYL)-3-METHYL-5-PYRAZOLONE-BASED ENAMINES AND THEIR CHLOROMANGANESE(III) AND NITRIDOMANGANESE(V) COMPLEXES

Abstract

In this publication we are reporting for the first time on examples of the redox behavior of enamines and complexes derived from 1-alkylpyrazolones. Cyclic voltammetry experiment was performed on three enamines derived from 4-acyl-1-(n-hexyl)-3-methylpyrazol-5-ol and their chloromanganese(III) and nitridomanganese(V) complexes. The ligands have an irreversible oxidation potential of 1.1 V. Chloromanganese(III) complexes are quasi-reversible with an E1/2 of ­ 0.1 V. Nitridomanganese(V) complexes are also quasi-reversible, with E1/2 potentials of 0.95 V. However, for nitridomanganese(V) complexes reversibility increases as the scan speed raises from 100 to 3000 mV·s-1
