New manganese compounds [Mn(HphpzMe)(2)(H(2)phpzMe)(HCO(2))] (1), [Mn(2)(phpzMe)(2)(HphpzMe)(2)(OCH(3))]·2CH(3)OH (2), Na{[Mn(HphpzPh)(phpzPh)(MeOH)(2)](2)}(HCO(2)) (3), [Mn(HphpzPh)(2)(EtOH)(2)]ClO(4)·2EtOH (4) and [Mn(HphpzPh)(2)N(3)] (5) were synthesized and characterized with various techniques. 1, 4 and 5 are mononuclear manganese(III) compounds, 2 is a mixed-valence dinuclear manganese(II...

The crystal structure of kôzulite, an Mn-rich alkali amphibole with the ideal formula NaNa(2)[Mn(4) (2+)(Fe(3+),Al)]Si(8)O(22)(OH)(2), tris-odium tetra-manganese iron/aluminium octa-silicate dihydroxide, was refined from a natural specimen with composition (K(0.20)Na(0.80))(Na(1.60)Ca(0.18)Mn(2+) (0.22))(Mn(2+) (2.14)Mn(3+) (0.25)Mg(2.20)Fe(3+) (0.27)Al(0.14))(Si(7.92)Al(0.06)Ti(0.02))O(22)[(OH...

Ligand modification transforms a polyoxometalate-anchored cubane-type [Mn(III)(3)Mn(IV)O(4)] core into a centrosymmetric [Mn(III)(6)Mn(IV)O(8)] di-cubane cluster, and restores the slow magnetization relaxation characteristics typical for [Mn(4)O(4)] cubane-based single-molecule magnets.

As a natural building material and environment, red-bed mudstone has special engineering properties due to its formation conditions. The disaster caused by these is becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, it of great theoretical significance practical value study the macro- micromechanical mudstone. Nanoindentation mechanical tests are carried out on from Chuxiong, Jingdong, Nanhua in Yunna...

In the title compound, [Mn(3)(C(8)H(4)O(4))(3)(C(14)H(8)N(4))(2)](n), one Mn atom is located on an inversion centre and is six-coordinated by four carboxyl-ate O atoms from different benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate (1,4-bdc) ligands and two phenanthrene N atoms from a dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine ligand. The other Mn atom is also six-coordinate, binding to six carboxyl-ate O atoms from different...

The reaction of the tris(tetradentate) triplesalen ligand H6talen 2, which provides three salen-like coordination environments bridged in a meta-phenylene arrangement by a phloroglucinol backbone, with Mn salts under aerobic conditions, affords, in situ, the trinuclear Mn triplesalen complex [(talen){Mn(solv)n}3] . This species then reacts with [(Me3tacn)Cr(CN)3] to form the tetranuclear comple...

Manganese (Mn) is an essential metal required for normal homeostasis. Humans chronically exposed to high Mn levels, however, may exhibit psychomotor signs secondary to increased brain Mn. As Mn and iron (Fe) share several cellular membrane transporters, decreased Fe levels resulting from Fe deficiency or anemia lead to increased brain Mn deposition. Conversely, decreased Mn levels are associate...

A series of mononuclear Mn(II), Mn(III), and Mn(IV) complexes was prepared using a single tripodal ligand (H(3)L). Addition of a cation (NH(4)(+), K(+), Na(+)) to [Mn(III)L] showed a pronounced effect on the redox potentials. Different variants of Jahn-Teller distortion, axial elongation and compression, were observed in the Mn(III) complexes.
