Rational serendipity: “undirected” synthesis of a large {Mn III10Cu II5} complex from pre-formed MnII building blocks†
Abstract
Use of an aminopolyalcohol-based MnII complex in solvothermal CuII chemistry leads to a rare example of a high nuclearity heterometallic {MnIII10CuII5} system, in which four CuII(H1Edte) units trap an inner {MnIII10CuII} oxide core.
