Antiferromagnetic interactions in a distorted cubane-type tetranuclear manganese cluster
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have synthesized a new tetranuclear manganese cluster with a distorted cubanelike [Mn4O4]-core. High field magnetization experiments reveal an intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling between the four manganese ions. We explain our results both qualitatively and quantitatively by a simple spin square model in terms of four equal antiferromagnetic exchange interactions in the core with coupling strengths of J = -1.69 K.

Structure and magnetic properties of a hydroxo-bridged copper(II) distorted cubane stabilized via supramolecular hydrogen bonding with an ionic hexafluoroacetylacetonate.
Tetranuclear [Cu(II)4(OH)4(aib)4)](hfac)4 (1; aib = 2-methyl-2-amino-4-iminopentane; hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) forms from the reaction of aqueous ammonia and Cu(hfac)2.2H2O in acetone. The structure of 1 reveals that four noncoordinating hfac- counterions stabilize the distorted cubane complex via multiple H-bonding contacts. Magnetic susceptibility studies reveal that cubane-like 1 is ...

The reaction of the lanthanide trichloride hexahydrates [LnCl(3).6H(2)O] (Ln = Yb, Lu) with two equivalents of benzoylferrocenoylmethane resulted in the tetranuclear lanthanide hydroxo clusters [Ln(4)(mu(3)-OH)(4)(FcacacPh)(8)] (Ln = Yb (1), Lu (2); FcacacPh = benzoylferrocenoylmethanide). Compounds 1 and 2 are made up of a distorted tetranuclear lanthanide Ln(4)O(4) cubane core consisting of f...
متن کاملHelicity inversion and redox chemistry of chiral manganese(II) cubanes.
The chiral ligand S-1,2-bis(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)ethanol, 1, reacts with manganese(II) salts to form cubanes which readily undergo oxidation reactions leading either to a tetranuclear manganese(II,III) mixed valence complex 4 or to a tetranuclear complex of ligand 5 where the secondary alcohol has been oxidised to an enolate. N-methylation of ligand 1 slows the oxidation reaction and stable man...
