Description
Summary:Treatment of [Mn(dpop)(H 2 O) 2 ]Cl 2 (dpop = 2,13-dimethyl-3,6,9,12,18-pentaazabicyclo-[12.3.1]octadeca-1(18),2,12,14,16-pentaene) with K 4 [Mo(CN) 7 ]·2H 2 O under varied synthetic conditions afforded four different compounds: {[Mn(dpop)] 4 [(dpop)Mn(H 2 O)] 2 [Mo III (CN) 7 ] 3 ·27H 2 O} n ( 1 ), {[(dpop)Mn(H 2 O)][Mo III (CN) 7 ][Mn(dpop)] 3 [Mo IV (CN) 8 ]·29H 2 O} n ( 2 ), {[(dpop)Mn(H 2 O)] 2 [Mo IV (CN) 8 ] 2 [Mn(dpop)] 4 [Mo III (CN) 7 ]·12H 2 O} n ( 3 ), and [(dpop)Mn(H 2 O)] 2 [Mo IV (CN) 8 ]·9H 2 O ( 4 ). Compound 1 contains only [Mo III (CN) 7 ] 4− anions and exhibits a corrugated two-dimensional layered architecture. The structure of 2 with a 1 : 1 ratio of Mo III  : Mo IV is best described as a ladder-like chain composed of [Mo III (CN) 7 ] 4− -based pentanuclear [Mo III Mn II 4 ] fragments which are further linked by in situ produced [Mo IV (CN) 8 ] 4− anions. In the case of 3 , [Mn 8 Mo 8 ] rings containing bent [Mo III Mn II 2 ] fragments are extended into a two-dimensional layer with the ratio of [Mo(CN) 7 ] 4−  : [Mo(CN) 8 ] 4− being 1 : 2. Compound 4 exhibits a bent trinuclear structure in which two CN − groups of [Mo(CN) 8 ] 4− function as μ 2 -bridges to [Mn(dpop)(H 2 O)] 2+ fragments. Magnetic studies suggest significant antiferromagnetic coupling interactions occur between Mo( iii ) and Mn( ii ) ions while, not surprisingly, interactions between the Mn( ii ) ions through diamagnetic [Mo IV (CN) 8 ] 4− anions are negligible. Compound 1 exhibits ferrimagnetic ordering below 3.0 K whereas 2 shows the signature of single molecule magnet behavior with slow relaxation of the magnetization and an effective energy barrier ( U eff ) of 8.1 K. Treatment of [Mn(dpop)(H 2 O) 2 ]Cl 2 with K 4 [Mo(CN) 7 ]·2H 2 O under varied synthetic conditions afforded four different compounds that exhibit a diversity of structures and magnetic properties.
