Abstract: | We report a carboxylate triangle consisting of three manganese(II) centres which is made from manganese(II) carbonate and pivalic acid. The magnetic exchange within the triangle is extremely weak, and antiferromagnetic. Several models have been used to fit the magnetic data, and the best fit uses two weak antiferromagnetic coupling constants of J(1)=-0.588 cm(-1) and J(2)=-0.855 cm(-1). Exchange interactions between the metal centres has been calculated using DFT adopting all the three possible Heisenberg models for a trinuclear system and the results are compared with experimental values. Spin density distribution is used to analyse the nature of the coupling between the metal centres. EPR spectroscopy has been used to explore the nature of the ground state. Recrystallisation of the trinuclear compound from MeCN gives a polymer, while oxidation in air leads to a known compound--an edge-sharing bitetrahedral (MnIII2MnII4) cage. |
