Synthesis and crystal structure of a novel oxo-centred trinuclear manganese complex [Mn3O(C6H5COO)6(py)3] · 2CH3CN
摘要:
The title complex, [Mn3O(C6H5COO)(6)(py)(3)]. 2CH(3)CN (py = pyridine), has been prepared. Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed a mu(3)-oxo-bridged (Mn2MnII)-Mn-III structure, in which each manganese atom has a distorted octahedral environment. The Mn(1) atom is readily assigned as a Mn-III centre from the Mn-(mu(3)-O) distance [1.819(5) Angstrom]. The remaining Mn(2) and Mn(3) atoms are essentially equivalent in crystallography, indicating an electronic delocalization between Mn-II and Mn-III atoms. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

A rare Mn-9 mu(3)-oxo-centered mixed-valent cluster [Mn9O7(O2CPh)(11)(thmn)(py)(2) (H2O)(3)] (1) is prepared by assembling an oxo-centered (MnMn2III)-Mn-II triangle, [Mn3O(O2CPh)(6)(py)(2)(H2O)]center dot 0.5MeCN, as the secondary building unit in the presence of a tripodal alcohol, 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl) nitromethane (H(3)thmn), as the capping ligand. Complex 1 was formed along with a minor byproduct, [Mn6O2(O2CPh)(10)(MeCN)(4)] (2). Complex 1 was characterized by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis and was crystallized in a monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, a = 16.214(6) angstrom, b = 25-874(10) angstrom, c = 26.497(10) angstrom, and beta = 94.214(7)degrees. The Manganese-oxo-carboxyl ate core in 1 looks like a funnel. Variable-temperature magnetic studies down to 2 K reveal the existence of dominant ferromagnetic interaction within the cluster. Alternating current susceptibility data of the cluster show strong frequency dependence of both the real and imaginary. parts of susceptibility chi ' and chi '' below 5 K. Moreover, the calculated relaxation time, tau(0) = 1.2 x 10(-7) s, and the energy barrier, Delta E = 25 K, are consistent with the single-molecule magnetic behavior of 1.
