| Abstract: | Bis{μ‐2‐[bis(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)amino]acetato}bis[diaquamanganese(II)] bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate) monohydrate, [Mn2(C14H14N3O2)2(H2O)4](CF3O3S)2·H2O, (I), and bis{μ‐3‐[bis(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)amino]propionato}bis[aquamanganese(II)] bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate) dihydrate, [Mn2(C15H16N3O2)2(H2O)2](CF3O3S)2·2H2O, (II), form binuclear seven‐coordinate complexes. Oxidation of (II) with ammonium hexanitratocerate(IV), (NH4)2[Ce(NO3)6], gave the oxide‐bridged dimanganese(IV) complex di‐μ‐oxido‐bis(bis{3‐[bis(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)amino]propionato}manganese(IV)) bis[triaquatetranitratocerate(IV)], [Mn2O2(C15H16N3O2)2][Ce(NO3)4(H2O)3]2, (III). The manganese complexes in (II) and (III) sit on a site of symmetry. |
