Stabilization of (SnS4)4− anion by coordinating to [TM(π-conjugated-ligand)m]n+ complex: a chain-like thiostannate(iv) {[Mn(phen)]2(SnS4)}n·nH2O exhibiting an unprecedented link mode of the (SnS4)4− anion

Abstract

The stabilization of the (SnS4)4− anion in the coordination of [Mn(phen)]2+ complexes brings about a novel compound {[Mn(phen)]2(SnS4)}n·nH2O (1), in which an unprecedented link mode of the (SnS4)4− anion is observed. Theoretical calculations indicate that TM complexes with big π-conjugated ligands, such as [Mn(phen)]2+, can serve as an excellent electron reservoir to stabilize the (SnS4)4− anion in 1, despite its strong condensation tendency. Magnetic measurements show the presence of strong antiferromagnetic interactions between the Mn2+ ions in 1.
