On the oxidation of alkyl and aryl sulfides by [(Me(3)TACN)(MnO)-O-V(OH)(2)](+): A density functional study
Density functional theory suggests that the formal 2-electron oxidation of sulfides, RR′S, to sulfoxides, RR2′ S {double bond, long} O by the model MnV{double bond, long}O catalyst, [(TACN)MnV O(OH)2]+, proceeds in two quite distinct 1-electron steps. Transfer of the first electron is barrierless an...
