Tris{2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazapentanedienato}manganese(III), a complex derived from a unique metal ion-assisted transformation of pyridine-2-amidoxime

• A novel metal ion-assisted transformation of pyridine-2-amidoxime has been observed.
• A mononuclear complex of Mn(III) containing the 2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazapentanedienate(- 1) ligand has been isolated.
• The MnIII centre in the complex is high- or low-spin at 100 K and “EPR silent” at X-band.

A novel metal ion-mediated reaction of pyridine-2-amidoxime has led to a 1:3 mononuclear Mn(III) complex containing the 2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazapentanedienate(− 1) ligand; the high-spin MnIII in the complex is “EPR silent” at X-band.

A novel manganese-assisted transformation of pyridine-2-amidoxime has been observed, leading to a mononuclear octahedral Mn(III) complex containing the 2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazapentanedienate(− 1) ligand.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
