Towards a synthetic model of the photosynthetic water oxidizing complex: [Mn3O4(O2CMe)4(bpy)2] containing the [MnIV3(μ-O)4]4+ core
Abstract
The 3 MnIV title compound has been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography and magnetochemistry; the complex contains a [Mn(μ-O)2Mn(μ-O)2Mn]4+ core and possesses an S = 3/2 ground state.
