AB ABTS oxidation to form its radical cation in the presence of H2O2 is frequently used as a test for determining the peroxidase activity of enzyme mimics. Detailed studies using salen-type Mn(III) complexes show that photochemical processes involving H2O2, ABTS and the complex itself, can lead to erroneous results. The capability of the complexes to act as ˙OH scavengers can be also relevant when the mechanism of their biological activity is considered
