The visible light-driven, catalytic aerobic oxidation of benzylic C-H bonds was mediated by a Mn(III) corrolazine complex. To achieve catalytic turnovers, a strict selective requirement for the addition of protons was established. The resting state of the catalyst was unambiguously characterized by X-ray diffraction as [Mn(III)(H2O)(TBP8Cz(H))](+), in which a single, remote site on the ligand is protonated. If two remote sites are protonated, however, reactivity with O2 is shut down. Spectroscop ...[more]
