Synthesis and molecular structure of an unsymmetric dimanganese(II) carboxylato complex
Abstract
A dimanganese(II) complex [Mn{HB(3,5-Pri2pz)3}(µ-OBz)3Mn(3,5-Pri2pzH)2]1 has been synthesized from a mixture of [Mn(Cl){HB(3,5-Pri2pz)3}], 3,5-Pri2pzH, MnCl2·4H2O and NaOBz;X-ray analysis establishes the unsymmetric coordination environment of each manganese ion with a structurally unique bridging unit consisting of three carboxylate groups.
