New high-nuclearity manganese clusters containing mixed chelating ligands: Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetochemical characterization

Abstract

Two polynuclear mixed-valence manganese clusters, [Mn(13)] and [Mn(16)], containing mixed chelating ligands were synthesized and structurally characterized. The alternating current (AC) susceptibilities of both complexes reveal nonzero frequency-dependent out-of-phase (χ(M)'') signals.
