Abstract

The reaction of Mn(O2CPh)2·.4H2O with KMnO4 in warm ethanol in the presence of benzoic acid has been found to give, in addition to the previously reported “manganic benzoate”, the new hexanuclear mixed-valence manganese cluster [Mn6O2 (O2CPh)10(EtOH)4(H2O)]·.EtOH (1) in 40% yield. X-ray crystal structure determination at −172°C shows that the complex contains a distorted [MnII4MnIII2O2]10+ core and, in addition to terminal EtOH and H2O groups, three different types of benzoate ligation viz. μ3-bridging, μ2-bridging and monodentate terminal forms.
