Salicylaldoxime in manganese(III) carboxylate chemistry: Synthesis, structural characterization and physical studies of hexanuclear and polymeric complexes
摘要:
The use of salicylaldehyde oxime (H(2)salox) in manganese(ill) carboxylate chemistry has yielded new members of the family of hexanuclear compounds presenting the [Mn-6(mu(3)-O)(2)(mu(2)-OR)(2)](12+) core, complexes [Mn-6(III)(mu(3)-O)(2)(O2CPh)(2)(salox)(6)(L-1)(2)(L-2)(2)] (L-1 = py, L-2 = H2O (1); L-1 = Me2CO, L-2 = H2O (2); L-1 = L-2 = MeOH (3)). Addition of NaOMe to the acetonitrile reaction mixture, afforded the 1D complex [(Mn3Na)-Na-III(mu(3)-O)(O2CPh)(2)(salox)(3)(MeCN)](n) (4), whereas addition or NaGO(4) to the acetone reaction mixture afforded an analogous ID complex [(Mn3Na)-Na-III(mu(3)-O)(O2CPh)(2)(salox)(3)(MeCO)](n) (5). The structures of 1-3 present the [Mn-6(mu(3)-O)(2)(mu(2)-OR)(2)](12+) core and can be described as two [Mn-3(mu(3)-O)](7+) triangular subunits linked by two mu(2)-oximato oxygen atoms of the salox(2-) ligands, which show the less common mu(3-)kappa(2) O: kappa O':kappa N coordination mode. The benzoato ligands are coordinated through the usual syn,syn-mu(2)-kappa O:kappa O' mode.The ID polymeric structures of 4 and 5 consist of alternating [Mn-3(mu(3)-O)](7+) subunits and Na+ atoms linked through two mu(3)-kappa O-2:kappa O':kappa N and one mu(4)-kappa O-2:kappa O-2':kappa N sal ox(2-) ligands as well as one syn,anti-mu(2)-kappa O:kappa O' benzoato ligand. DC and AC magnetic susceptibility studies on I revealed the stabilization of an S = 4 ground state, and indications of single-molecule magnetism behavior, whereas the DC experimental data from polycrystalline sample of 5 are indicative of antiferromagnetic interactions within the [Mn-3] subunit. Solid state H-1 NMR data of I were used to probe the spin-lattice relaxation of the system. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
