Versatile pentadentate 1,5-bis(salicylideneamino)pentan-3-ol type ligands yield novel tri- and tetra-manganese(II) complexes: structure and properties
Abstract
Novel manganese–oxygen cores observed in trinuclear [MnII3(L3)2(µ2-OAc)]Na and tetranuclear [MnII2L3(µ3-OMe)(MeOH)]2 complexes [H3L3 = 1,5-bis(3-Cl,5-NO2-salicylideneamino)pentan-3-ol] illustrate the coordination versatility of the 1,5-bis(salicylideneamino)pentan-3-ol type of trianionic pentadentate Schiff bases.
