Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of A One-Dimensional Polymer [Mn(im2-py)(tp)(H2O)2]·1.25H2O

A new manganese(II) complex [Mn(im2-py)(tp)(H₂O)₂]·1.25H₂O (im2-py=2-(2'-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl and tp=terephthalato dianion) has been synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically.

Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data exhibit a weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the manganese(II) ion and the imino nitroxide radical.     

Synthesis and supramolecular networks of mono- and dinuclear manganese chloride complexes with 2-(2,2′ : 6′,2″-terpyridin-4′-yl)phenol

2-(2,2′?:?6′,2″-Terpyridin-4′-yl)phenol has been prepared with an improved one-pot method. The reaction between the ligand and MnCl₂ in ethanol at ambient or hydrothermal conditions afforded dichlorido[2-(2,2′?:?6′,2″-terpyridin-4′-yl)phenol-κ³ N,N′,N″]manganese(II) and dichloridobis[µ-2-(2,2′?:?6′,2″-terpyridin-4′-yl)phenolate-κ³ N,N′,N″-κO]dimanganese(II), respectively. Face-to-face π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings play a crucial role in supramolecular networks of both complexes. Both complexes display weaker photoluminescence than the free ligand and the dinuclear complex luminescence was stronger than the mononuclear one.     

Metal–organic supramolecular architectures derived from a new zwitterionic dicarboxylate ligand

A series of new coordination compounds with 1-carboxymethylpyridinium-4-benzoate (L) and transition metal ions have been synthesized. They are formulated as [M(L)₂(H₂O)₄]?·?4H₂O M=Mn (1) and Co (2), {[M(L)₂]?·?xH₂O} _n M=Mn, x?=?1 (3); M=Co, x?=?2 (4), and M=Cu, x?=?3 (5). In 1 and 2, the zwitterionic dicarboxylate ligand is monodentate through only one carboxylate to generate mononuclear molecules. The molecules are assembled through O–H?···?O interactions to give 3-D pillared layer-like architectures, in which interesting 1-D tape-like hydrogen bonding motifs are connected into 2-D layers via carboxylate-mediated hydrogen bonds. In 3–5, the organic ligands serve as bridges with one carboxylate monodentate and the other chelating, and the metal ions are linked by double bridges to give 1-D polymeric chains, which are zigzag (3) or stair-like (4 and 5) due to the cis or trans coordination geometry around metal ions. The chains are further stabilized and associated into 3-D architectures through intra- and interchain hydrogen bonding and/or π–π stacking interactions.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,and magnetic properties of two new manganese(II) complexes based on biphenyl-2,5,2′,5′-tetracarboxylic acid

Two new complexes, [Mn(H₂bptc)(2,2′-bpy)₂]?·?2H₂O (1) and [Mn₃(Hbptc)₂(2,2′-bpy)₃(H₂O)₈]?·?2H₂O (2) (H₄bptc?=?biphenyl-2,5,2′,5′-tetracarboxylic acid, 2,2′-bpy?=?2,2′-bipyridine), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Their structures have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, IR spectra, powder X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses. Complexes 1 and 2 are both linked into 3-D supramolecular networks by non-covalent interactions (O–H?···?O, C–H?···?O, C–H?···?π, and π?···?π). Complexes 1 and 2 exhibit weak antiferromagnetic interactions.     

A New Azide-Bridged Three-Dimensional Supramolecular Manganese(II) Compound: Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties

A three-dimensional supramolecular compound [Mn(N₃)₂(H₂O)₃(hmt)] ₂ , where hmt stands for hexamethylenetetramine, was synthesized and characterized by IR, crystal structure and magnetic susceptibility. The compound [Mn(N₃)₂(H₂O)₃(hmt)] _n , crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P_n 2₁ a, with a = 6.5201(9), b = 9.322(2), c = 22.192(3) Å, β = 90° and Z = 2. The Mn atom is coordinated in an octahedral arrangement by three nitrogen atoms from three azido ions, and three oxygen atoms from three water molecules, respectively. The azide ligand bridges Mn atoms in μ-1,3 fashion, forming a zigzag chain. Hmt connected with the zigzag chain by hydrogen bonds, to form a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. The magnetic susceptibility data show that there is an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction in the title compound. The data were modeled using an infinite chain model leading to J = -4.8 cm^?1.     

A two dimensional coordination polymer based on drug ligand enoxacin and transition metal ion

A two-dimensional coordination polymer, [Mn(Enox)₂]·4H₂O, 1 (H-Enox?=?1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-pierazinyl)-1,8-naphtyridine-3-carboxylic acid), has been rationally designed and synthesized under hydrothermal conditions.

Manganese(II)-phenanthroline-azide compounds: Versatile Precursors as Ligands in Designing Heteropolymetallic Systems

Two novel manganese(II) complexes, [Mn(phen)₂N₃·H₂O]ClO₄·H₂O and Mn(phen)₂(N₃)₂ have been synthesized by the reaction of Mn(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O and Mn(CH₃CO₂)₂·4H₂O with NaN₃ and phen in EtOH/H₂O solution, respectively (where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline). Their crystal structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Both complex molecules have distorted octahedral geometry and two 1,10-phenanthroline molecules chelate to a Mn(II) atom with a cis-configuration. To [Mn(phen)₂N₃·H₂O]ClO₄·H₂O, one nitrogen atom from an azide anion and one oxygen atom from a water molecule cis-coordinate to the Mn(II) atom while two nitrogen atoms occupy cis positions in Mn(phen)₂(N₃)₂. These complexes are versatile precursors for the design of heteropolymetallic systems.     

Multi-wall carbon nanotube supported manganese(III)tetraphenylporphyrin: efficient catalysts for epoxidation of alkenes with NaIO4 under various reaction conditions

Manganese(III)tetraphenylporphyrin supported on multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were developed as efficient catalysts for epoxidation of alkenes with sodium periodate under mild conditions. The catalysts were prepared by axial ligation of manganese to 2-aminobenzimidazole and 2-aminothiazole preanchored to MWCNTs. The formation of these heterogenized catalysts was followed using elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and scanning electron microscopy. The reactivity of these catalysts under both magnetic stirring and ultrasonic irradiation and also their reusability were investigated.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a 1,3-Benzenedicarboxylatomanganese(II) Complex with 2,2-Bipyridine

The title complex has been prepared by the reaction of Mn(2,2'-bipy)Cl 2 with 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate (BDC) in ethanol solution. The complex crystallizes in space group C 2/ c with a =13.847(6), b =15.629(7), c =17.106(6) Å, g =107.90(3)° and z =8. Three BDC and one bipy ligands coordinate to Mn(II) to form a distorted octahedron. Each BDC bridges three Mn(II) atoms to form a polymeric chain. It is notable that although the Mn(II) atom deviates 1.084 Å from the bridging carboxyl plane it still has a normal coordination distance of 2.141(2) Å. This might suggest an electrostatic interaction between Mn(II) and carboxyl O atoms in the title complex. The IR spectrum is discussed, based on the molecular structure.     

Cyanide-bridged FeIII–MnIII bimetallic chain derived from [Fe(bipy)(CN)4]−: synthesis,structure and magnetic characteristics

A chain-like compound of [Mn(salpn)][Fe(bipy)(CN)₄] (1) (salpn = N,N′-propylenebis(salicylideneiminato)dianion; bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine), assembled from building blocks of [Fe(bipy)(CN)₄]^? and [Mn(salpn)]⁺, has been characterized by elemental analyses, ICP, IR, thermoanalysis, single crystal X-ray structure analysis and magnetic measurements. In 1, each [Fe(bipy)(CN)₄]^? anion coordinates with two [Mn^III(salpn)]⁺ cations via two trans-CN^? groups, and each [Mn^III(salpn)]⁺ cation is axially coordinated by two [Fe(bipy)(CN)₄]^? ions, resulting in a straight 1-D chain. The chains stack via aromatic π–π-type interactions. Magnetic studies reveal the presence of weak antiferromagnetic interactions between adjacent Fe^III and Mn^III ions through cyanide-bridges.
