Three high-nuclearity manganese(III) clusters have been synthesized and characterized: [Mn₈(μ₄-O)₄(phpzH)₈(thf)₄] (1), [Mn₈(μ₄-O)₄(phpzH)₄(EtOH)₄]·2EtOH (2), and [Mn₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-Br)₂(HphpzEt)₆(phpzEt)] (3). Compounds 1 and 2 contain a [Mn₈(μ₄-O₄)(phpzH)₈] core in which antiferromagnetic interactions between the manganese(III) ions are found. Compound 3 is a hexanuclear manganese(III) cluster in ...

Three isostructural Mn(II) compounds with a zwitterionic dicarboxylate ligand and different pseudohalides were synthesized, and then structurally and magnetically characterized. They are formulated as [Mn(L)(X)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n) [X = N(3)(-) (1), NCO(-) (2), NCS(-) (3), L = 1,4-bis(4-carboxylato-1-pyridinium)butane]. In these compounds, adjacent Mn(II) ions are connected into coordination chains...

The reaction of (S)P[N(CH(3))N=CH-C(6)H(3)-2-OH-3-OCH(3)](3) with a Mn(II) salt followed by a Ln(III) salt (Ln = Eu, Gd and Dy), afforded linear heterometallic complexes [L(2)Mn(2)Ln](+) that showed interesting magnetic properties.

The complexes of Mn(OAc)3 and/or Mn(acac)3 with nucleic bases and nucleosides (adenine, guanine, xanthine, adenosine and guanosine) have been synthesized in nonaqueous solution. Polarographic and spectroscopic (IR and Visible) methods have been used to establish the active site(s) on the imidazole and pyrimidine rings in the nucleic bases and nucleosides for the intera...

Five Mn(II) coordination polymers containing azide and carboxylate as simultaneous bridges have been derived from different imidazolium-carboxylate zwitterionic ligands: 1-methyl-3-(carboxylatomethyl)imidazolium (L(1)), 1,3-bis(carboxylatomethyl)imidazolium (L(2)), (S,S)-, (R,R)-, and (R,S)-1,3-bis(1-carboxylatoethyl)imidazolium (S,S-L(3), R,R-L(3) and R,S-L(3)). The compounds are formulated as...

The syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties of compounds of formula [Fe(III)(5-Clsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)]·0.5(CH(3)NO(2)) (1), [Fe(III)(5-Brsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)] (2), and [In(III)(5-Clsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)] (3) are reported. The structure of the three compounds, which crystallize in the orthorhombic P2(1)2(1)2(1) chiral space group, presents a 3D ...

Bacterial manganese (Mn) oxidation plays an important role in the global biogeochemical cycling of Mn and other compounds, and the diversity and prevalence of Mn oxidizers have been well established. Despite many hypotheses of why these bacteria may oxidize Mn, the physiological reasons remain elusive. Intracellular Mn levels were determined for Pseudomonas putida GB-1 grown in the presence or ...

Two thioarsenates [Co(dien)2]3[As3S6]2 (1, dien = diethylenetriamine) and [Mn(teta)]2As2S5 (2, teta = triethylenetetramine) have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. 1 consists of isolated cyclic [As3S6]3− anions in a chair-conformation and two different isomeric [Co(dien)2] cations, while 2 consists of neutral [Mn(teta)]2As2S5 moieties built up from saddlelike As2S5 ...
