Ligand non-innocence and strong correlation in manganese superoxide dismutase mimics
Literature Information
Alexandra R. McIsaac, David A. Mazziotti
We examine the 1-electron reduction of manganese porphyrin complexes Mn(III) porphyrin and Mn(III) TDE-2-ImP5+, which have attracted recent interest due to their properties as superoxide dismutase mimics. We perform a series of electronic structure calculations using the variational 2-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM) method with a large [30,30] active space that represents a wavefunction with 1019 variables, as well as the more traditional complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method with a [14,14] active space. We show that the larger 2-RDM calculation, intractable with CASSCF, is required to capture the full effects of electron correlation in the molecule and predict the non-innocence of the porphyrin ligand during the reduction. The CASSCF method predicts single-reference systems exhibiting a metal-centered reduction, but the 2-RDM method predicts a strongly correlated system exhibiting a ligand-centered reduction. Based on these results, we find that the porphyrin ligand is reduced rather than the manganese, and suggest that the electron correlation plays a role in driving the ligand non-innocence.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
