A binuclear Mn(ii) complex as an efficient catalyst for transamidation of carboxamides with amines

Abstract

A binuclear Mn(ii) complex has been synthesized and characterized by different structural methods. The complex contains two unique oxo-bridged metal centres and has been explored as an excellent catalyst for transamidation of carboxamides with amines under solvent-free conditions. © 2014 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
