Two-electron versus four-electron reduction of dioxygen by a series of monohydroxido-bridged dimanganese(III) complexes (A) in the presence of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatecholate (H2DBC) as an electron source is fine-tuned by the secondary coordination environment around the metal center, leading to semiquinonato (B) and quinonato (C) complexes, respectively. The latter undergoes a Michael-type nucleophilic 1,4-addition reaction with the solvent methanol to generate an unusual type of oxidized dioxolene moiety.
