Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of manganese (IV) complex derived from salicylic acid

The binuclear manganese (IV) [Mn2(Hsal)4(OH)4] (H2sal = salicylic acid) complex has been obtained from a complex reaction mixture in methanol consisting of Mn(II)(OAc)2 · 4H2O, GS ( a reagent obtained by refluxing glycine and salicylaldehyde in 1:1 molar ratio in methanol), monosodium salicylate and pyridine. The compound contains a distorted octahedral MnO6 coordination unit of potential importance to high oxidation state manganese bimolecules.

The binuclear manganese (IV) [Mn2(Hsal)4(OH)4] (Hsal = salicylic acid) complex has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic moment, EPR, IR and electronic spectral data and X-ray crystallography. The compound contains a distorted octahedral MnO6 coordination unit of potential importance to high oxidation state manganese bimolecules.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
