Slight changes in the coordination structure of the manganese(v)-nitrido anionic complex, [MnV(N)(CN)4]2-, induced by using a "lipid package" approach markedly made an impact on the corresponding redox potentials. The single crystals of four lipid assemblies, [dabco-(CH2)n-1-CH3]2[Mn(N)(CN)4(H2O)]·xH2O (n = 15, 16, 17 and 18; dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane), were synthesized and solid-st...
