Abstract: Porphyrin ligands are well-known for their promising tendency to produce metal porphyrin
complexes of great significance. Out of different metal porphyrins, manganese porphyrins are one of
the most valuable metal porphyrins due to effective catalytic performance and potential in many reactions
like C-H isocyanation, the cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides, epoxidation, oxygen reduction
reaction, depolymerization reactions, oxidation of aromatic alcohols, selective oxidation of cycloalkenes/
alkanes, aliphatic C-H chlorination, dehydrogenation of alcohols, dye degradation, BSA nitration
and others. Hence, in this review, the authors have best tried to present an effective insight overview
of these aforementioned applications with the help of some recent studies for signifying the value
of manganese porphyrins as a competent catalyst.
