A bent mixed-valence manganese(III/II/III) complex: a new class of trinuclear, acetate bridged Schiff's base compounds exhibiting a g= 2 multiline e.s.r. signal
Abstract
The e.s.r. spectrum of the bent mixed valence Mn(III/II/III)(saladhp)2(OAc)4(MeOH)2[saladhp = 2-(salicylideneaminato)- 1,3-dihydroxy-2-methylpropane] in dimethylformamide provides the observation of a multiline e.s.r. signal from a trinuclear mixed-valence manganese complex and allows for the comparison of magnetic and spectroscopic properties of related models for the photosynthetic water oxidizing enzyme.
