A family of new MnII compounds, consisting of seven dinuclear, three mononuclear, and four trinuclear ones, were synthesised using benzoic acid derivatives n-RC6H4COOH, where n-R = 2-MeO, 3-MeO, 4-MeO, or 4-tBu, and 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenantroline (phen) as blocking ligands. The crystal structures of nine of these compounds and the magnetic studies of all of them are reported here. ...

We report the synthesis, magnetic EPR and conducting properties of a new manganese complex [MnII(hfac)2(IMHPhOPh)]2[MnII(hfac)3](IMH2PhOPh) (1), containing reduced forms (IMHPhOPh IMH2PhOPh) NIT-PhOPh radical (NIT-PhOPh = 2,4‘-benzoxo-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide). Magnetic susceptibility studies reveal presence weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between metal ions, w...

The title salt, [Mn(C2H6OS)6]I4, is made up from discrete [Mn(DMSO)6]2+ (DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide) units connected through non-classical hydrogen bonds to linear I42- tetra-iodide anions. The MnII ion in the cation, situated on a position with site symmetry -3., is octa-hedrally coordinated by O atoms of the DMSO mol-ecule with an Mn-O distance of 2.1808 (12) Å. The I42- anion contains a neut...

Two novel heteropolyoxomolybdate [XMo₈O31]n- (X = Ge(1) or P(2)) manganese carbonyl derivatives [(CH₃)₄N]₆H₆{MnII(GeMo₈O31)[MnI(CO)₃]₂}₂·12H₂O (1) and [(CH₃)₄N]₄H₆{MnII(PMo₈O31)[MnI(CO)₃]₂}₂·14H₂O (2), have been successfully synthesized and characterized in the solid state by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and thermogravimetric analysis, and in solution by UV-Vis spectroscopy and electroc...

This paper investigates the comproportionation reaction of MnII with [Formula: see text] as a route for manganese oxide nanoparticle synthesis in the protein ferritin. We report that [Formula: see text] serves as the electron acceptor and reacts with MnII in the presence of apoferritin to form manganese oxide cores inside the protein shell. Manganese loading into ferritin was studied under acid...

In connection with the production of 46.2 min Mn via the Cr(d, n)-process, several separation techniques such as ion exchange chromatography, solid phase extraction, liquid–liquid extraction and co-precipitation have been investigated; the aim was to separate no-carrier-added radiomanganese from the bulk target chromium. Among the separation systems ∗MnII/CrIII , ∗MnII/CrVI and ∗MnIV/CrVI, the ...

Manganese(II) complex [(Bn-tpen)MnII]2+ activated dioxygen for oxidation of cyclohexene in acetonitrile (MeCN) and methanol (MeOH). In MeCN, ketone (2-cyclohexen-1-one), alcohol (2-cyclohexen-1-ol) and small amounts of epoxide (cyclohexene oxide) were produced in this reaction, while in MeOH only ketone was formed. In the most efficient experiment, the combination of 2.5 × 10-4 mol% [(Bn-tpen)M...

The MnII ion in the structure of the mononuclear title compound, [Mn(C4H3N2O2)2(H2O)4], is situated on an inversion center and is coordinated by two O atoms from two deprotonated 4,6-di-hydroxy-pyrimidine ligands and by four O atoms from water mol-ecules giving rise to a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere. The complex includes an intra-molecular hydrogen bond between an aqua lig...

first row transition metal complexes of phthalocyanine are employed as catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexene and cyclooctene using iodosylbenzene and pentafluoroiodosyl benzene. the catalysis was performed in dichloromethane: methanol:water (80:18:2) solvent mixture.  the products of the catalysis for cyclohexene are epoxycyclohexane, 2-cyclohexene-1-ol and 2-cyclohexene-1-one whereas for ...
