A novel water-stable (t1/2 ∼ 6.8 days) mononuclear manganese(IV) complex of a hexacoordinating non-Schiff-base ligand (H4L) with N2O4-donor atoms has been synthesized and characterized crystallographically. High-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance experiments performed on a single crystal reveal a manganese(IV) ion with an S = 3/2 ground spin state that displays a large single-ion anisotropy, setting the record of mononuclear manganese(IV) complexes reported so far. In addition, spin-echo experiments reveal a spin-spin relaxation time T2 ∼ 500 ns.
