Hexanuclear manganese(III) single-molecule magnets from derivatized salicylamidoximes

Four novel hexanuclear manganese(III) complexes based on derivatized salicylamidoximes, [Mn^III₆(μ₃-O)₂(O₂CPh)₂(Me₂N-sao)₆(EtOH)₄] (1), [Mn^III₆(μ₃-O)₂(O₂CPh)₂(Me₂N-sao)₆(ⁱPrOH)₄] (2), [Mn^III₆(μ₃-O)₂(O₂CPh)₂(Et₂N-sao)₆(EtOH)₄] (3) and [Mn^III₆(μ₃-O)₂(O₂CPh)₂(Et₂N-sao)₆(ⁱPrOH)₄] (4) (Me₂N-Hsao = dimethylsalicylamidoxime; Et₂N-Hsao = diethylsalicylamidoxime), have been prepared and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction allows one to determine that 1·2CHCl₃ and 4 crystallize in the triclinic system with space group P(–1), whereas 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P2₁/n. dc and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1-4 reveal ferromagnetic coupling between Mn(III) metal ions and single-molecule magnet behaviour. The anisotropy barriers are 56, 52, 71 and 59 K for 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively.     

Salicylaldoxime in manganese(III) carboxylate chemistry: Synthesis, structural characterization and physical studies of hexanuclear and polymeric complexes

The use of salicylaldehyde oxime (H₂salox) in manganese(III) carboxylate chemistry has yielded new members of the family of hexanuclear compounds presenting the [Mn₆(μ₃-O)₂(μ₂-OR)₂]¹²⁺ core, complexes [Mn^III₆(μ₃-O)₂(O₂CPh)₂(salox)₆(L₁)₂(L₂)₂] (L₁ = py, L₂ = H₂O (1); L₁ = Me₂CO, L₂ = H₂O (2); L₁ = L₂ = MeOH (3)). Addition of NaOMe to the acetonitrile reaction mixture, afforded the 1D complex [Mn^III₃Na(μ₃-O)(O₂CPh)₂(salox)₃(MeCN)]_n (4), whereas addition of NaClO₄ to the acetone reaction mixture afforded an analogous 1D complex [Mn^III₃Na(μ₃-O)(O₂CPh)₂(salox)₃(Me₂CO)]_n (5). The structures of 1–3 present the [Mn₆(μ₃-O)₂(μ₂-OR)₂]¹²⁺ core and can be described as two [Mn₃(μ₃-O)]⁷⁺ triangular subunits linked by two μ₂-oximato oxygen atoms of the salox²⁻ ligands, which show the less common μ₃-κ²O:κO′:κN coordination mode. The benzoato ligands are coordinated through the usual syn,syn-μ₂-κO:κO′ mode. The 1D polymeric structures of 4 and 5 consist of alternating [Mn₃(μ₃-O)]⁷⁺ subunits and Na⁺ atoms linked through two μ₃-κ²O:κO′:κN and one μ₄-κ²O:κ²O′:κN salox²⁻ ligands as well as one syn,anti-μ₂-κO:κO′ benzoato ligand. DC and AC magnetic susceptibility studies on 1 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 [Mn₃] subunit. Solid state ¹H NMR data of 1 were used to probe the spin-lattice relaxation of the system.

There are crystallographic inversion centers in both the ligand and the complex. The ligand coordinates to Mn through all the phenolate oxygens and imino nitrogens. The two Mn in the complex are bridged by two phenolate oxygens with separation of 3.549(1)?Å. Each Mn is octahedral with four donors of the Schiff base ligand defining the equatorial plane, and with one azido nitrogen and one phenolate oxygen of an adjacent Schiff base ligand occupying the axial positions. The Schiff base and the complex were tested in vitro for their antibacterial activities.

Synthesis and crystal structure of aquachlorobis(1,10-phenanthroline)manganese(II) nitrobenzoate trihydrate

The title compound has been prepared and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex salt consists of Mn(II) complex cations, benzoate anions and lattice water molecules. Mn(II) assumes a distorted octahedral geometry defined by two 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands, a Cl^? ion and a water molecule. A comparison of bond distances and bond angles suggests electrostatic interaction between Mn(II) and coordinated N atoms. The nitrobenzoate anion does not coordinate to the Mn atom but links with the complex cation via O?H···O hydrogen bonds. Aromatic stacking occurs between phen rings and between phen and benzoate.

The products Mn₅(AsO₄)₂(HAsO₄)₂ ?4H₂O ( 1 ) and Mn₂AsO₄(OH) ( 2 ), the Mn end‐members of the minerals villyaellenite and sarkinite, respectively, have been obtained (crystal data 1 : monoclinic, C2/c, a = 18.109(4), b = 9.332(2), c = 9.809(2) Å, β = 96.172(4)?, Z = 4; 2 : monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 10.219(2), b = 13.613(2), c = 12.780(2) Å, β = 108.834(2)?, Z = 16). In both compounds a three‐dimensional framework of edge‐sharing MnO polyhedra is observed. Based on the availability of the all Mn2containing form of villyaellenite ( 1 ), the ordering scheme of the impurity cations of the natural samples could be confirmed. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1 indicate the presence of high‐spin Mn²⁺ ions. The comparison of the data on sarkinite ( 2 ) with the data obtained from the natural sample indicates that the mineral has either a very high Mn content, or an absence of impurity cation ordering.

Synthesis, characterisation and catalytic activities of manganese(III) complexes of pyridoxal-based ONNO donor tetradenatate ligands

Reaction of Mn^II(CH₃COO)₂ with dibasic tetradentate ligands, N,N′-ethylenebis(pyridoxylideneiminato) (H₂pydx-en, I), N,N′-propylenebis(pyridoxylideneiminato) (H₂pydx-1,3-pn, II) and 1-methyl-N,N′-ethylenebis(pyridoxylideneiminato) (H₂pydx-1,2-pn, III) followed by aerial oxidation in the presence of LiCl gives complexes [Mn^III(pydx-en)Cl(H₂O)] (1) [Mn^III(pydx-1,3-pn)Cl(CH₃OH)] (2) and [Mn^III(pydx-1,2-pn)Cl(H₂O)] (3), respectively. Crystal and molecular structures of [Mn(pydx-en)Cl(H₂O)] (1) and [Mn(pydx-1,3-pn)Cl(CH₃OH)] (2) confirm their octahedral geometry and the coordination of ligands through ONNO(2-) form. Reaction of manganese(II)-exchanged zeolite-Y with these ligands in refluxing methanol followed by aerial oxidation in the presence of NaCl leads to the formation of the corresponding zeolite-Y encapsulated complexes, abbreviated herein as [Mn^III(pydx-en)]-Y (4), [Mn^III(pydx-1,3-pn)]-Y (5) and [Mn^III(pydx-1,2-pn)]-Y (6). These encapsulated complexes are used as catalysts for the oxidation, by H₂O₂, of methyl phenyl sulfide, styrene and benzoin efficiently. Oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide under the optimized reaction conditions gave ca. 86% conversion with two major products methyl phenyl sulfoxide and methyl phenyl sulfone in the ca. 70% and 30% selectivity, respectively. Oxidation of styrene catalyzed by these complexes gave at least five products namely styrene oxide, benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, 1-phenylethane-1,2-diol and phenylacetaldehyde with a maximum of 76.9% conversion of styrene by 4, 76.3% by 5 and 76.0% by 6 under optimized conditions. The selectivity of the obtained products followed the order: benzaldehyde > benzoic acid > styrene oxide > phenylacetaldehyde > 1-phenylethane-1,2-diol. Similarly, ca. 93% conversion of benzoin was obtained by these catalysts, where the selectivity of the products followed the order benzil > benzoic acid > benzaldehyde-dimethylacetal. Tests for the recyclability and heterogeneity of the reactions have also been carried. Neat complexes are equally active. However, the recycle ability of encapsulated complexes makes them better over neat ones.

Simultaneous determination of soluble manganese(III), manganese(II) and total manganese in natural (pore)waters

A new spectrophotometric protocol was developed for the simultaneous determination of soluble Mn(III), Mn(II) and total Mn [sum of soluble Mn(III) and Mn(II)] in sediment porewaters using a water soluble meso-substituted porphyrin [α,β,γ,δ-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (T(4-CP)P)]. A simple kinetic rate model is used to quantify soluble Mn(II), Mn(III) and total Mn concentrations during a metal substitution reaction. Under optimized conditions, the method accurately determines soluble Mn(II) and Mn(III) within a concentration range of 100 nM-10 μM. The detection limit of total soluble Mn is 50 nM. Using this method, soluble Mn(II) and Mn(III) concentrations were determined in standard solutions within 0.4-2% of the known values and agreed closely with results of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric and voltammetric analyses. The procedure was successfully applied to determine soluble Mn(II), Mn(III) and total Mn in sediment porewaters of the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary. Mn(III) represented up to 85% of the total soluble Mn pool in surface sediments.
