MANGANESE(II), MANGANESE(IV) MIXED VALENCE DIMER
Crystal structure of the mixed valence, hydrogen bridged dimer formed when
Mn(II) reacts with LH3 [LH3 = 1S,4S,7S-tris(hydroxypropyl)1,4,7-triazacyclononane]
in air.
The left hand half of the dimer is a pseudo-octahedral complex
of Mn(IV) with deprotonated L, while the right hand half is a Mn(II) complex
of LH3 with trigonal prismatic geometry.
