Abstract: We synthesized two macrocyclic and one noncyclic manganese ( Ⅱ ) complexes for simulating Mn-superoxide dismutase(SOD).They were characterized by several physical methods and their structures were identified.Among the three complexes the macrocyclic mononuclear complex has a higher SODactivity than that of the manganese ( Ⅱ ) complexes of carboxylates which were considered as being good model compounds of Mn-SOD.The relationship between the SODactivity and structure of the complexes was discussed.
