Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a one-dimensional Mn(III) Schiff-base complex bridged by derivative of tetracyano-p-quinodimethane
摘要:
A new one-dimensional manganese(III) Schiff-base complex [Mn(III)(salophen) (MeOTCNQ)] center dot CH3CN 1 (salophen = N, N'-bis(salicylidene) phenylenediamine) bridged by 7-methoxy-7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-p-quinodimethane (MeOTCNQ), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography and magnetic studies. Crystal structure study reveals that complex 1 has a 1D manganese(III) chain bridged by MeOTCNQ ligand which was obtained unexpectedly from tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) reacting with methanol. Noticeably, MeOTCNQ molecules in complex 1 adopt an unusual cis-syn coordination mode. The analysis of magnetic data indicates that a weak intrachain antiferromagnetic interaction exists in complex 1. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
