Novel 18-membered hexanuclear metallamacrocycle: Synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic properties
摘要:
The novel 18-metallacrown-6 metallamacrocycle. with the formula of [Mn-6(amshz)(6)(CH3OH)(6)]center dot 6H(2)O (amshz = N-acetyl-3-methyl-salicylhydrazide), has been prepared and characterized. Six Mn(III) ions and six deprotonated N-acetyl-3-methyl-salicylhydrazide (amshz(3-)) ligands construct a planar 18-membered ring based on Mn-N-N-Mn linkage. Due to the coordination, the ligand enforces the stereochemistry of the Mn3+ ions as a propeller shape with alternating ...Delta Lambda Delta Lambda... configurations. The magnetic properties of the metallacrown molecules are characterized by a weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction, with mu(eff) = 5.12 mu(B) at 300 K between the Mn3+ ion spins with S = 2 in the cyclic system.
