1. A first row transition metal complex having a tetradentate or pentadentate supporting ligand, wherein the metal complex comprises a chemical structure selected from the group consisting of: wherein: M is Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, or a combination thereof; each X is independently selected from PRn, NRn, AsRn, SbRn, BiRn, ORn, SRn, SeRn, TeRn, and any other donor group, where n=2, 1, or 0, a heterocycle containing one of these donor atoms, and any combination thereof; each R is independently selected from hydrogen, an inert functional group, a substituted, unsubstituted, or cyclic C1-24 alkyl group optionally having one or more heteroatoms, an aryl or substituted aryl group that optionally contains one or more heteroatoms, a moiety where two R groups taken together form a ring that is a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated cylic structure that optionally contains one or more heteroatoms, a halogen, an alkoxide, an amide, a silyl, a boryl, and combinations thereof; each Y is independently selected from a substituted or unsubstituted C1-24 alkylene linking group optionally having one or more heteroatoms but not an aryl functionality directly attached to N; Q is a substituted, unsubstituted, or cyclic C1-24 alkylene linking group optionally having one or more heteroatoms, or an aryl or substituted aryl linking group that optionally contains one or more heteroatoms; and Z is a hydride, an alkyl, an aryl, an alkoxide, an amide, a silyl, or a boryl; or a salt thereof. |
