Abstract: The trinuclear manganese (Ⅲ).Schiff base complex Mn3O(Salea)2(C2H3O2)3· HC2H3O2(where salea2-is the dianion of ONO tridenate Schiff base prepared by condensing ethanol amine with salicylaldehyde) was synthesized and characterized by magnetic susceptibilities, molar conductivities, infrared spectra, electronic spectra and thermoanalyses, etc. The measurement of oxygen evolving activity was performed using an oxygen electrode. In the aqueous solution involving p-benzoquinone, the complex can promote water to decompose and liberate dioxygen and this is affected by temperatures and concentrations of p-benzoquinone and the complexs. Apossible equation for oxygen evolving reaction is suggested.

Key words: Manganese(Ⅲ), Schiff base, Trinuclear complex, Oxygen evolving activity
