Abstract

Abstract Manganese(II) complexes of imines derived from salicylaldehyde and glycine, alanine, valine, phenylalanine and histidine were prepared and identified. Most of these compounds were found to be stable towards dry air but absorbed oxygen readily in many organic media to the extent of O2/Mn equal to I or 0.5. Reversibility was barely observed except for complexes derived from valine and phenylalanine. The histidine analogue showed no reversibility.
