Article Description

The trinuclear oxo bridged manganese cluster, [MnO(terpy)(terpyO)(H O)](SO) (5) (terpy = 2,2′:2″6′ terpyridine and terpyO = 2,2′:2″,6′-terpyridine 1,1″-dioxide), was isolated in an acidic aqueous medium from the reaction of MnSO, terpy, and oxone as chemical oxidant. The terpyO ligands were generated in situ during the synthesis by partial oxidation of terpy. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 14.251(5) A, b = 15.245(5) Å, c = 24.672(5) Å, α = 90.000(5)°, β = 92.045(5)°, γ = 90.000(5)°, and Z = 4. The triangular {MnO } core observed in this complex is built up of a basal Mn(μ-O)Mn unit where each Mn ion is linked to an apical Mn ion via mono(μ,-O) bridges. The facial coordination of the two tridentate terpyO ligands to the Mn(μ-O)Mn unit allows the formation of the triangular core. 5 is also the first structurally characterized Mn complex with polypyridinyl N-oxide ligands. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data for this complex, in the range of 10-300 K, are consistent with an S = 1/2 ground state and were fit using the spin Hamiltonian H = - 2J(S̃S̃+S̃S̃ ) - 2JS̃S̃ with S = S = S = 3/2, J = -37 (±0.5) and J = -53 (±1) cm where J and J are exchange constants through the mono-μ-oxo and the di-μ-oxo bridges, respectively. The doublet ground spin state of 5 is confirmed by EPR spectroscopic measurements. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations based on the broken symmetry approach reproduce the magnetic properties of 5 very well (calculated values: J = -39.4 and J = -55.9 cm), thus confirming the capability of this quantum chemical method for predicting the magnetic behavior of clusters involving more than two metal ions. The nature of the ground spin state of the magnetic {MnO} core and the role of ancillary ligands on the magnitude of J are also discussed. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
