A new oximeligand in manganese chemistry: a [Mn8] and a [Mn6] cage from the use of 2-dihydroxy-2-phenylacetamidine†
Abstract
The use of phamidoxH2 (phamidoxH2 = 2-dihydroxy-2-phenylacetamidine) in manganese cluster chemistry led to the synthesis and characterization of a hexametallic and an octametallic MnIII cluster, both of which display a S = 3 ground state.
