Pentanuclear M^II–Mn^II (M = Ni and Cu) complexes of N₂O₂ donor ligands with a variation of carboxylate anions: syntheses, structures, magnetic properties and catecholase-like activities

Abstract

One NiII2MnII3 and two CuII2MnII3 complexes have been synthesized using N 2 O 2 donor ligands. The former complex exhibits spin crossover at 2 K temperature. All the complexes exhibit catecholase-like activities.
