Abstract:

Three new 2-(hydroxymethyl)-N-methylimidazole-bridged tetranuclear Mn2Mn2 complexes [Mn4(hmmi)6(DMF)2(N3)2](ClO4)2(1), [Mn4(hmmi)6(H2O)2(N3)2](ClO4)2(2) and [Mn4(hmmi)6Cl4]·6CH3CN(3·6CH3CN)[Hhmmi=2-(hydroxymethyl)-N-methylimidazole] were synthesized, and their crystal structures and magnetic properties were studied. In the mixed-valent [Mn4]2+ cores for complexes 1—3, Mn are located at the sides, and Mn in the middle. Best fit to the experimental data for complexes 1—3 suggests the presence of ferromagnetic coupling for Mn-Mn, while weak ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic coupling for Mn-Mn or intermolecular interaction.
